City/town information
Easy to travel into Oxford from Wallingford.
X39 goes every half an hour from the town square until late at night -probably most economical if you are travelling alone
Redbridge park and ride- you need to get a ticket in the car park and then a bus ticket into the city centre- buses are frequent, every 5-10 minutes or so
Drive into the Westgate carpark, charges by the hour but you are nice and central and may work out cheaper if you have a car full and just staying for a few hours or so.
All ways into Oxford are pretty easy and take around 30-40 minutes
