Directions by Road
Directions by Road
There is very limited parking at the Littlemore Mental Health centre/AG Palmer House site. It would be best to drive further along Sandford Road, which is the main road going past the entrance to Palmer House and the Littlemore MH site, and park in the road. Then walk back to the venue at Palmer House. Or you could turn left at the traffic lights immediately after the Littlemore MH centre into Armstrong Road, where there usually are some places.
There will be 5 places reserved for presenters at the Palmer House site.
Directions by public transport
Come out of Oxford station and take the number 5 bus (directly ahead down exit stairs). Get off at Queens Lane bus stop (the stop after the High Street stop, when the bus may say "High St Queens Lane"). Then get on a number 3A (at the number 3 bus stop). The 3A's go every half hour at 8.32, 9.07 and 9.37 and take about 20 mins to destination. Get off at the Littlemore Mental Health centre (hospital) stop, the second stop after a big roundabout . Cross over the road and walk back along the direction you came and you will see a sign at a gateway saying AG Palmer House.
Lunch will be provided but no assistance can be made with travel expenses
