Travelling to West Oxford Community Centre

West Oxford Community Centre is easy to reach by public transport.

• Oxford train station is a quarter of a mile from the Centre:

  Leave the station by the main station exit, go down to the main Botley Road, and then turn right (west) under the railway bridge. Stay on this side of the Botley Road. You will reach the Centre just after you pass the allotments. (St Frideswide's church is opposite.)

• Many buses run past the Centre. The stop is called 'Osney'. All number 4 buses (4, 4A, 4B) run frequently along the Botley Road. The 400 Park and Ride and the Brookes Bus also pass the Centre.

• There is ample cycle parking outside the Centre.

• Car Parking is very limited in front of the Centre. There is a reserved disabled space. Much more car parking is available at the excellent 'Seacourt' Park and Ride at the ring road end of the Botley Road.
