Travelling to Trinity College

How to get here

Trinity College is in the centre of Oxford, on Broad Street. The main entrance and Porter’s Lodge are on Broad Street.

Oxford city centre is easy to reach by train, bus, coach, bicycle and on foot. If you are travelling by car, we recommend using one of Oxford’s Park & Ride services where possible, as parking in the city centre is limited.

Important information for drivers: Oxford traffic filters

Oxford’s traffic-filter trial starts on Monday 28 September 2026.

Traffic filters are camera-enforced points on certain roads in Oxford where cars are restricted at particular times unless they have an appropriate permit. The restrictions apply to cars and motorhomes; other vehicle types are not subject to the traffic filters.

Trinity College remains accessible by car. You do not need to pass through a traffic filter to reach every part of Oxford, but you may need to use a different route from the one you have used previously. An unauthorised car passing an active filter can receive a £70 PCN.

If you are driving, we strongly recommend checking your route before you travel. A map of the traffic filter locations can be found below

About the traffic filters

Oxford railway station is approximately a 15–20 minute walk from Trinity College.

From the station, head towards the city centre via Hythe Bridge Street and George Street. Continue towards Broad Street, where you will find the entrance to Trinity College.

If you have heavy luggage or have accessibility requirements, you may prefer to take a taxi from the station.

Plan your rail journey

Trinity is within easy walking distance of many city-centre bus stops.

Oxford’s main coach station is at Gloucester Green, a short walk from the College. Coaches also serve other stops around central Oxford.

Services and stopping points can change, so we recommend checking your journey with your bus or coach operator before travelling.

Plan your rail journey by public transport

Recommended if you are travelling to Oxford by car

Parking in central Oxford is limited, so Park & Ride is often the easiest option for visitors arriving by car.

Oxford has Park & Ride sites around the city, allowing you to leave your car outside the centre and continue your journey by bus.

Check which Park & Ride site is most convenient for your direction of travel and the current bus services before setting off.

Park & Ride information

Trinity College is located on Broad Street, OX1 3BH, in the centre of Oxford.

There is very limited parking in central Oxford, and traffic restrictions operate on a number of roads. We therefore recommend using Park & Ride where possible.

If you do drive into Oxford, plan your route before travelling and check the current traffic restrictions. From 28 September 2026, Oxford’s traffic filters restrict cars from passing through six locations at specified times unless the vehicle has an appropriate permit.

The filters do not prevent you from driving to Trinity or other parts of Oxford. Alternative routes are available that do not require cars to pass through a traffic filter.

Please do not rely on an established or previously used route into central Oxford without checking it first.

Traffic-filter penalties

Traffic filters are enforced using automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) cameras. Drivers who take a car through an active traffic filter without an appropriate permit may receive a penalty charge.

Always follow current road signs and check the latest information from Oxfordshire County Council before travelling.

Accessible travel

The main entrance to Trinity College is on Broad Street. The route through the entrance into the College is level and can be accessed by wheelchair users.

If you have specific accessibility requirements, including questions about arrival, drop-off or access within the College, we recommend contacting the College before your visit so that appropriate arrangements can be made.
