Getting to Oxford
The Oxford train station is located within walking distance (<1 mile) of the Statistics department and the city centre, with services running to and from London Paddington and London Marylebone and other cities in the UK. London is connected by train to the rest of Europe by the eurostar. See https://www.seat61.com/ for advice on train travel to, from and in the UK.

In order to reduce the carbon footprint of this event, the organisers encourage all participants who are able to travel without flying to do so. For those who cannot avoid flying, direct bus services run to and from Heathrow and Gatwick airports, see http://airline.oxfordbus.co.uk/ for details (you can also get to Oxford by train from these airports, either via London or via Reading).
