How to find us

The Chaplaincy is located on St Aldate's, the road that runs southwards from Carfax out towards Abingdon. Oxford is notoriously difficult to drive around and thus the Chaplaincy is best reached by public transport. It is within easy walking distance of both the Gloucester Green Bus Terminal and the Railway Station.

On foot

The Chaplaincy is across the road from Christ
Church Memorial Gardens. The entrance is on
Rose Place, a short walk from Carfax, down
St Aldate's, past Christ Church on the left and
St Aldate's Church on the right. The Chaplaincy
is located in a wooden Elizabethan building on
the right with a tea-shop on the ground floor. To
reach the entrance turn right into Rose Place: the black door on the left is the front entrance to the Chaplaincy, while the large door in front is the entrance to the public rooms.

By rail

Leave the train station and cross the forecourt and square in front of the Business School. Walk along Oxpens Road past the Ice Rink on the right and the Car park on the left (some 400 metres). At the next set of traffic lights, cross into Speedwell Street, taking the left fork (the Magistrate's Court is on the left-hand side). Continue to the end of the road and turn left into St Aldate's. Rose Place is 50 yards ahead on the left.

By coach

Leave the coach station through Gloucester Green to reach George Street, past the cinema. Turn left and walk up the street and turn right into Cornmarket. Walk along Cornmarket, which is a pedestrian precinct as far as Carfax, and continue 300 metres straight down St Aldate's, past Christ Church and St Aldate's Church. Rose Place is on the right, immediately opposite Christ Church Memorial Gardens.


By road

From all directions, it is best to use the Ring Road and enter Oxford on the Abingdon Road (A4144). Use the Redbridge Park and Ride (the bus stops opposite Christ Church), or continue until all traffic is forced left. Either use the car park, or turn right at the traffic light, drive down Speedwell Street, and turn left into St Aldate's. Rose Place is on the left. There is no car parking at the Chaplaincy, except for loading and unloading.
