Transfers from London Heathrow Airport to Oxford

About this transfer

The motorway north-west from the airport cuts through the Chilterns and then drops down to the flat country around Oxford, with the city's spires appearing on the approach. The city centre is tightly packed around the colleges, the Bodleian and the covered market, and access by car is limited, so a hotel in the centre may mean a drop-off on the nearest open street. Give the hotel's full name and postcode. Add the flight number and terminal, count the passengers and bags, and set the pickup time after passport control and baggage reclaim. If anybody in the party is a student moving in, remember that trunks and bikes count as luggage when you choose the vehicle. Oxford is built along the Thames and the Cherwell, with the colleges between the rivers and the station on the western side of the centre. Oxford's hotel list sits below. The leg back to London Heathrow Airport is a separate search; time it from the flight with the drive and the airline's check-in rules added, and remember the city's traffic when you set it.
