Travel
We suggest that you use public transport wherever possible. Parking in Oxford is expensive, and can be difficult to find.
Coach
There are very frequent (modern and comfortable) coach services running day and night between London, London airports and Oxford. As the services are direct, this is the recommended means of journeying to Oxford from the London airports. The journey takes between 1.5 and 2 hours. Buses from London terminate at Gloucester Green bus station, High Street and St Aldates, just minutes from college.
Gloucester Green coach station is approximately a 15-20 minute walk Pembroke College and also the main bus stop for national bus travel. There is a taxi rank in Gloucester Green market square, next to the coach station.
