Useful Travel Information for Conference Attendees

 

CONFERENCE LOCATION
The conference will be held and co-sponsored by The Rothermere American Institute.
Information about the Institute can be found on its website:
http://www.rai.ox.ac.uk/

TRANSPORT: GETTING TO OXFORD
We recommend that conference participants take the direct Oxford bus from London airports to Oxford. Information about cost, bus times, and where the bus stops in Oxford can all be found at: http://www.oxfordbus.co.uk/airline1.html
At the airport follow signs for buses/central bus station.

If you plan to travel to Oxford by train from London, information about train times and cost can be found at:
http://www.gner.co.uk/GNER
Upon arrival at the Oxford train station local buses and taxis can take you into the centre of town. The station is located fairly centrally, so it is also walkable. A taxi should cost around £5 to get to town.

Further Oxford travel information (including local buses) can be found at the following Oxford University website:
http://web.comlab.ox.ac.uk/oxinfo/timetables/

Ground Transportation Fares:
Airline bus from Gatwick, period return - £27
airline bus from Heathrow, period return - £19
oxford tube from London to Oxford, period return - £16
Train from London to Oxford - around £20
Request 'period returns' rather than just 'returns' when buying your ticket
because 'returns' are for travel back the same day, sometimes the next
day. Period returns let you take your return journey anytime within three
months.

ARRIVING IN OXFORD – ACCOMMODATION
For Conference Attendees, we have reserved a block of rooms at Linton Lodge. For our conference discount, please provide the Linton Lodge desk with our discount number -- UNI2704. For accommodation here, please contact the hotel directly. The hotel can be contacted online at:
