Travelling by car
Daytime parking in central Oxford is limited.
If you're visiting us from outside the City, our Council encourages you to use one of the five Park & Ride services.
There’s one located at each of the main roads into the City and they run frequent bus services into the City Centre.
The main car park and coach park for the City is on Oxpens Road — check the Oxford City Council website for details of all city-centre parking.
Coaches are able to drop off and pick up in Broad Street; we advise groups travelling in a minibus to use the Park & Ride.
For cars, there is pay-and-display parking close to the Museum in Broad Street, Mansfield Road and Blackhall Road.
Take a look at the Oxfordshire County Council website to find out about on-street parking in Oxford.
If you have special needs — or you are a carer for a visitor with additional needs — take a look at our Access Guide to the Museum.
There are also Access Guides to all the University Galleries, Libraries and Museums on the University website.
