Getting there
St Columba's Church is located at the very centre of Oxford, just off the High Street. It is easily accessible by train or bus (Oxford Tube runs 24/7 to and from London). The Town Hall is located just round the corner, a 3 minute walk away.
For Satnav directions, search "Oxford Tango Academy", or St Columba's United Reformed Church, 1 Albert Street.
You cannot drive or park on the High Street before 6:30pm, Monday - Sunday. There are cameras and fines for driving on the high street before 6:30pm, but the area where this applies is clearly signposted.
Options for parking are indicated in the map above. You can park on a single yellow line for free after 6:30pm on the High Street, but spaces are limited. We recommend using "Park and Ride" which is the cheapest and easiest option. You can find more information about parking sites and buses into town here.
