Getting there

  • Bus from Oxford station — The ground is out of town; several city buses run past the retail park near the stadium.
  • Oxford station — 40 minutes' walk isn't realistic for most — the bus or a taxi is the standard approach.
  • Driving — M40 J8, then A423; the retail park car parks are the easiest option.
B

Safe away spots

  • Grenoble Road retail park — Chain restaurants surround the stadium, the obvious pre-match choice. Map
  • Oxford city centre — If arriving early, the city's pubs and cafés are a much better experience than the retail park. Map
  • Kassam Stadium concourse — Functional matchday fare. Map

Transport alert

Standard Saturday

Nothing unusual in the Oxford diary for this date. Book advance rail tickets 12 weeks out and check the operator's works page the Monday before.

Ground note

The Kassam Stadium is a fair distance from the historic city centre — don't assume you can combine sightseeing and the match without transport.

Ground note

Oxford's city-centre roads have heavy restrictions; park-and-ride is often the sensible driving option for the city itself.
