Arrival and departure



Airports

Heathrow (approx 1 hour from Oxford), Gatwick (approx 2 hours from Oxford), Luton and Stansted (approx 3 hours from Oxford). Where possible, we recommend that students fly to London Heathrow as this is the closest airport to Oxford.

Please note that Luton and Stansted airports are not within easy reach of Oxford, and so we would strongly advise you to fly to Heathrow or Gatwick where possible.
