Location and Getting Around

Location and Getting Around

St Cross College is located on St Giles, one of Oxford's most historic streets, in the heart of the city. Many University departments, libraries and facilities are within easy walking distance, including the Science Area, Schwarzman Centre, Bodleian Libraries, Saïd Business School, Ashmolean Museum, Pitt Rivers Museum and a wide range of academic departments.

Oxford is a compact and walkable city, and most students and Fellows find they can easily travel between college, their department and University facilities on foot or by bicycle.
