An alternative to the train is the bus from Victoria Coach Station in London to the High Street or Queen’s Lane (it is the same stop) in Oxford. These leave every 15 minutes and the journey takes approximately 1hr 40 minutes.

For more information visit Oxford Tube or Oxford Bus Company.

Oriel College is a 5 minute walk away from where you get off the bus. You need to continue up the High Street in the direction in which the bus was going. You will walk past a small lane called Logic Lane and past the Old Bank Hotel on your left. The next street you come to on your left is Oriel Street. Turn down this street and after about a minute you will come to the main entrance for Oriel College on your left.

IMPORTANT: If you would prefer not to walk at all, you will need to get off the bus at Gloucester Green Bus Station (this is the final stop). Taxi services are available from the square next to the station.
