Getting to Oxford
Oxford is in the south of England, approximately 1.5 hours by bus from central London.
Most students fly from their country to one of the London airports. Oxford is only one hour by express bus from Heathrow and 2 hours from Gatwick. You can find out more about the main UK airports from the British Aviation Authority.
There is a direct bus service from the London airports to the central bus station in Oxford. From here you can catch a taxi direct to your accommodation.
If you prefer, we are happy to arrange for a taxi to meet you at the airport.
