Getting there
Planes, trains, automobiles, or maybe even helicopter – we tell you the best way to go.
- Planes
- London's Heathrow airport is about an hour away from Oxford by car, Gatwick a little further – about 90 minutes.
- Trains
- Trains run to Oxford from London Paddington every 20 minutes during the day. They’re almost as frequent in the evenings; the journey takes about an hour. There are no direct services from Heathrow or Gatwick, but travelling via London, you’ll still be in Oxfordshire within two hours.
- Automobiles
- Oxford’s an hour west of London along the M40, and 90 minutes from Bristol via the M4 and A420. If you want to hire a car, try www.hertz.co.uk – you get a 10 per cent discount if you’re a Smith cardholder, just quote ‘635230’ when you book.
