On foot
St Catherine's is on the periphery of the City Centre
and we do recommend that visitors arriving at the bus
or train station take a taxi to the College, especially
if they are bringing luggage. However for those who
are keen to walk the following directions apply:
From the City Centre
The City Centre to St Catherine's will take between
15 and 20 minutes. Most local bus stops are located
on Cornmarket and Queen Street, and national buses arrive
at Gloucester Green Bus Station on George Street. From
any of these, you should make your way to Broad Street
(opposite Debenhams). Continue to the end of Broad Street,
(past the Sheldonian Theatre on the right). At the traffic
lights go straight on into Holywell Street, and at the
end of this turn left into St Cross Road. Cross the
road at the pedestrian crossing (St Cross Church is
on your right) and take the next main right into Manor
Road. Go over the bridge and St Catherine's is on your
right.
From the Train Station
Taxis are recommended from the station, but if you are
happy with a 30 minute walk, turn left as you leave
the station area. The Royal Oxford Hotel is directly
in front of you; keep left and walk along Hythe Bridge
Street, (past Blackwells Bookshop on the left). At the
end walk straight across into George Street. At the
end of George Street Debenhams Store is on the left
- from here walk straight over into Broad Street and
follow the directions as from the City Centre.
