As you already know, it rains a lot in England! But Oxford is actually the warmest part of the country! Its oceanic climate means that winters are cold and rainy, so you might want to avoid coming between October and March, to avoid low temperatures and rain. But during summertime, Oxford gets quite hot, with temperatures averaging around 25°C in July/August.
No need to worry about where to begin! Our tours are designed as a loop, so you can jump in wherever you are. The navigation system and audio-guide will automatically adjust to your location. However, if you happen to be nearby, we do have a preferred starting point: in front of the Oxford's martyrs's Memorial, on Magdalen Street
St Giles' Car Park, St Giles' street Parking in Oxford city centre is very limited and quite expensive. The Pear Tree Park & Ride in the north of the city is an excellent alternative. You can easily park here, and then take the shuttle bus to the city center. The center itself is compact and you can get around it easily by foot or by bike.
If you're in London and want to spend the day or weekend in Oxford, you can take the bus or the train. Oxford is only 90 km, or around 60 miles, north of the English capital and has excellent transport links. Its a 1-hour train ride from London Paddington station (if you book in advance you can get really cheap tickets) or a 2-hour bus ride via the Oxford Tube or X90 or Megabus. Oxford is a city with beautiful academic architecture that almost makes you want to go study. But its outside beauty doesn't even compare to what awaits you inside these century-old colleges. However, entry is not free. The most famous, Christ Church College, is also the most expensive. The equally splendid Magadalen College, however, will cost you half as much, as you can visit it without an audioguide. Although, the city's spectacular museums are free. Either way, if you'd like to visit more than one paying site, be sure to ask at the tourist office about combined tickets and skip-the-line tickets. England uses the pound sterling (£ ). You can, of course, pay by card, but remember to check any exchange charges to avoid unpleasant surprises. You can also exchange your native currency for pounds - it's cheaper to do this once you're in the country, and to avoid airport exchange offices!
