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 two-hour parking 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.
