Head south down the Banbury Road for about a mile. The church is on the left immediately opposite South Parade on the right and a pelican crossing across the road.
Parking
Parking: On street parking is limited, even on Sundays, but there is a public car park off the Banbury Road and on the same side as the church immediately south of the Summertown shopping area, about 5 minutes walk from the church.
Travelling by bus
Travelling by bus: From the city centre all buses numbered 2, 2A or 2B go up the Banbury road. They may be caught from Magdalen street and you should ask for the South Parade stop. If driving in from out of town you may care to park at the Pear Tree Park and Ride car park and take the bus, no. 300, to the Woodstock road end of South Parade.
