Venue

LR2, Thom Building, Department of Engineering Science

University of Oxford, Parks Road, Oxford, OX1 3PJ

TRAVEL, ACCOMMODATION, MEETING VENUE

Trinity College address is: Trinity College, Broad Street, Oxford OX1 3BH, UK    Tel. +44 1865 279900    http://www.trinity.ox.ac.uk

For those arriving to Heathrow, the most convenient route to Oxford is the coach service from there to central Oxford known as ‘the airline’:  http://airline.oxfordbus.co.uk

It runs every 20-30 minutes daytime (~1hr – 2hrs night time). The journey typically takes a little over an hour.
Oxford is an old town that is good for walking – so if you don’t mind one upon arrival (7 minutes), tell the driver when you get on the coach that you will be alighting at the High Street stop (next to the Grand Café). Then walk through the historic University centre to Broad Street and Trinity College following this map: http://goo.gl/7RSucA 

It takes you along High Street, past the University Church (with the tower dating back to 1280, and spire of 1325), Radcliffe Camera, Sheldonian Theatre, Bodleian Library, Blackwells bookshop, and to the Porter’s Lodge of Trinity College in the middle of Broad Street.

The venue for the meeting is the Department of Engineering Science (http://www.eng.ox.ac.uk) Here sessions will take place.

Route from Trinity College is found on goo.gl map above (takes ~10 minutes or so).

There is an alternative walking route from college to department (map on the right below) – past the Natural History museum (of ‘dodo’ fame), Rhodes House, Keble College and along the University parks.
