The nearest recommended public options are Westgate Shopping Centre and Oxpens car park on Oxpens Road, both a 5 minute walk from the museum (storymuseum.org.uk). These are the most straightforward choices when you want a named public car park rather than a street space. Blue Badge holder bays are available in the immediate vicinity on St Ebbe's Street, Pembroke Square and St Aldates (storymuseum.org.uk). The site is at 42 Pembroke Street, in Oxford city centre, so a short walk from a public car park is generally more practical than trying to stop directly outside. ## Parksy Spaces Within Walking Distance of the Museum Parksy lists a driveway space at Botley Medical Centre, 160 yards away, for £4.90 a day. A 24/7 space at Pike Terrace is 221 yards away and costs £4.50 an hour, while a space at Littlemore Hospital is 225 yards away for £4.30 a day. Other priced choices include a space at Eastgate Hotel, 254 yards away, at £4 an hour, and a secure 24/7 garage in Oxford city centre, 303 yards away, at £7.60 an hour. A space near Luther Street Medical Centre is 0.2 miles away and costs £1.15 an hour. These listings give drivers several pre-bookable alternatives to the public car parks around Westgate and Oxpens. Show map of Oxford ## Busy City-Centre Driving and Parking Around Pembroke Street Oxford city-centre access can be busiest when visitors are arriving for museum sessions, shopping and other central activities. Westgate Shopping Centre and Oxpens car park are both positioned for a 5 minute walk to the museum, making them useful choices when stopping on Pembroke Street is inconvenient (storymuseum.org.uk). Drivers displaying a Blue Badge can use bays in the immediate vicinity on St Ebbe's Street, Pembroke Square and St Aldates (storymuseum.org.uk). The museum advises that Redbridge and Seacourt Park and Ride car parks are within a 30 minute walk, offering a way to leave the car outside the central streets before continuing on foot (storymuseum.org.uk). ## Westgate, Oxpens and Park and Ride Choices for Oxford Visitors Westgate Shopping Centre is one of the two nearest public car parks named by the museum, alongside Oxpens car park on Oxpens Road. Both are a 5 minute walk from the museum (storymuseum.org.uk). Oxpens is therefore particularly easy to identify for drivers approaching from Oxpens Road, while Westgate provides the other named central option. Redbridge and Seacourt Park and Ride car parks are also identified in the museum's accessibility and frequently asked questions information, with both within a 30 minute walk (storymuseum.org.uk). Park and Ride is a useful alternative for visitors who prefer to avoid taking a car into the centre, although the final journey to the museum is on foot. ## Walking From Oxford Rewley Road and Oxford Railway Stations Oxford Rewley Road railway station is the nearest station listed for the museum, at 0.5 miles away and a 10 minute walk. This gives rail passengers a direct walking connection to 42 Pembroke Street without needing to find city-centre parking. Oxford railway station is approximately an 11 minute walk away. Bus services reach the city centre, and the museum also highlights Park and Ride as an access option (storymuseum.org.uk).
