By Train
There are frequent trains to Oxford from London Paddington, Reading, Birmingham and Southampton. It takes between 20-30 minutes to walk from the train station to the Jacqueline du Pré Music Building.
Taxis are always available at the station.
By Bus
From London there are two bus services that run to Oxford, the Oxford Tube and the X90. Both are incredibly good value and run about every 10 minutes during the day. What’s more they stop just 5 minutes walk from the JdP. You should ask for the St Clements bus stop.
