Taking the bus

There are regular buses running between Headington and the city centre – it only takes 10 minutes, followed by a 9-minute walk through Old Headington. There are also coaches running 24 hours a day to and from London. Students receive a discount on most services, so remember to always have your student/NUS card with you.

Cycling

Oxford is definitely the city of bikes! We have plenty of space for you to store your bike on the campus, making it a great option for travelling to and from college.
