Ever thought of traveling through and see more of Oxford in just one day?
This was exactly what we did during our stay in London.
Oxford is also known as the city of intellect and it has always been a student's dream (let it be under or postgraduates) to qualify into the academic arena of Oxford intellectual square. Fame and recognition, the harmonious architecture of Oxford's university buildings have earned this metropolis "City of Dreaming Spires".
How to get there:
By car: the M40 motorway from the Midlands (Junction 9) or from London (Junction 8): from the Cotswolds (A40 or A44) or from the M4 (A420 or A34).
Parking in Oxford is limited so please use the free Park and Ride car parks to the north, south, east and west of the city. All operate Monday to Sunday except Water Eaton (not Sundays). The Pear Tree site serves evening visitors (buses until 23:15). All P&R buses take wheelchairs.
By bus: from Heathrow and Gatwick airports the Oxford Bus Company's airline operates a 24 hour service. Pre-booked airport transfers can be booked through taxi or hire car firms.
The National Express 737 service links Oxford to Luton and Stansted airports.
Two companies provide a 24/7 bus service to London: the Oxford Espress and the Oxford Tube.
We took the Oxford Tube from London Victoria. Buses are available every 10-15mins. (About 2 hours from London city center)
By train: Heathrow, Gatwick and Birmingham International airports are served by train to Oxford. There is a fast and frequent service from London Paddington
Let's visualize some of Oxford's prominent architecture:
Oxford'd Oldest Building - St Michael at the North Gate
St. Michael's is also one of Oxford's cheapest attractions, with free admission to the church and cheap admission to the ancient tower with its fantastic views.
the Christ Church
Oxford University's largest College and the Cathedral Church for the Anglican Diocese of Oxford.
Admission: £6.00 for Adults, £4.50 for students, children and retirement pensioner.
