We understand that travelling to a new place can be a daunting experience, which is why we want to make your journey as easy and stress-free as possible. Hence, we are pleased to offer a reliable and comfortable bus service that will transport students from London Heathrow and London Gatwick airports to Oxford. This service is available on the 4th of August 2024 and includes three scheduled departure times at 9 am, 2 pm, and 7 pm. Upon arrival at the airport, students will be met by our experienced and friendly drivers who will transport them directly to the accommodation. We want to ensure that every student’s journey to Oxford is as comfortable as possible, so they can start their Oxford experience in the best possible way. A similar service will also be available for the student’s return back to the airport on the 17th of August 2024.
