Directions to St Ebbe's Church and Parking
Address:
St Ebbe's Church,
2 Roger Bacon Lane,
Oxford, OX1 1QE
Location: St Ebbe's Church is located in Pennyfarthing Place in the centre of Oxford, on the corner of St Ebbe's Street, next to the Westgate shopping centre and multi-storey car park.
Car Parking: There is no parking at the church but the Westgate multi-storey car park is very close by. Levels 3B and 4A are most popular as they are closest to the Westgate access which leads through the shopping centre and out the other side, past Sainsbury's, to Pennyfarthing Place and the church. But we warned: parking in Oxford is limited and expensive! Alternatively you might like to use the Park and Ride service, which is very good.
Park & Ride: The Park and Ride services from the edge of town will drop you off near Carfax, the historic crossroads at Oxford centre. One minutes' walk down St Aldates Street, turn right opposite Christchurch College into Pembroke Street (look out for (but don't stop at!) G&D's ice cream parlour on the corner. At the end of Pembroke Street you will find St Ebbe's Church. For more information see the Park and Ride in Oxford web site.
