Visit us
For visitors coming by car: East Oxford is a Low Traffic Neighbourhood (LTN) with bollards to control the flow of traffic in our area. If you are driving to Irving Gallery, you can only access Essex Street if you approach from the Cowley Road end of the Magdalen Road (once you turn into Magdalen Road, Essex Street is the second street on the left). If you approach from the Iffley Road, you won’t be able to access Essex Street, but you can get very close, and in that case you might like to park on nearby Hertford Street (parallel to Essex Street), Barnet Street, Silver Road, or on Magdalen Road, and walk around the corner. We have residents’ parking restrictions in place, but there are a few 2-hours spaces around.
By train: From the station, you can pick up the no. 5 bus just outside the station, and get off at the Magdalen Road stop on the Cowley Road. Then it will be a short walk of a few minutes to the gallery.
Our current exhibition is ‘Until Now’, a solo show by British sculptor Lawrence Dicks, which continues until Sunday 26th October 2025.
Opening hours during exhibitions:
Thursday - Saturday, 11am-4pm
Also Sunday 12th and 26th October, 11am-4pm
You can visit at other times by appointment - just contact me to enquire and arrange your visit: vanessa@irvinggallery.com | 07969 673349
