Bus or coach
Buses from London run round the clock at very reasonable fares.

X90 - Calls at London Victoria Coach Station, Grosvenor Gardens (Victoria), Marble Arch, Gloucester Place (Baker St.) and Hillingdon Circus.
LHR - Calls at Heathrow bus station and Heathrow Terminal 5; transfer from the central bus station for terminals 1, 2, 3& to terminal 4. There is a free train transfer between Heathrow Central and terminal 4. LGW - Calls at Gatwick South Terminal and Gatwick North Terminal.
Oxford Tube - Calls at Grosvenor Gardens (Victoria), Marble Arch, Notting Hill Gate, Shepherd's Bush, Hillingdon Circus and Lewknor Turn.

Travel times from London vary with traffic but average an hour and a half to two hours. The X90 is significantly faster than the Oxford Tube as it follows a more direct route.

For St. Hilda's, alight at St. Clements, walk up to the roundabout and Cowley Place is the second exit. If you have an NUS, YP Railcard or YP Coachcard, show it to the driver for a cheaper ticket.

By Car
St Hilda's College is conveniently located towards the east of the city, the closest college to the Thornhill Park and Ride. We therefore recommend that visitors use the Thornhill Park and Ride located at OX3 8DP. You will need to exit the bus at St Clements - the bus journey should take approximately 15 minutes. From St Clements it is a 3 minute walk to St Hilda's College from there: continue down to The Plain (the roundabout) and take the 2nd exit. St Hilda's College is just at the end of the road. The cost to park at the Thornhill Park and Ride is £2 and a return bus fare from Thornhill to St Clements is £2.70

Taxi
St Hilda's College is situated approximately 20 minutes walk from the city centre and bus station and about 30 minutes walk from the train station. Taxis are recommended if you have luggage with you and are available at both locations. If you have difficulty finding one, please contact the Porters' Lodge on 01869 276884. Please refer to the map above if you are walking.
