When you arrive at Cowley House

Cowley House is an operational bus garage and visitors need to be aware of a number of procedural issues, aimed to minimise the conflicts between pedestrians, cars and buses.

There are two separate gates for vehicles; for entrance and exit. Traveling along the B480 away from the Oxford Ring Road, the first gate you see is the EXIT. The second gate is the ENTRANCE.

Turning into the entrance, drivers should turn immediately right before the barrier and park in one of the available bays at the front of the building. There is also cycle rack at the front of the building for those travelling by bike.

Pedestrians should enter through the gate on the foopath, ensuring they remain within the yellow pedestrian zone when crossing the car park to access the front of the building.

Reception is accessed by the double doors under the canopy at the front of the building. All visitors should report here and be signed in.

Finally, it might sound silly but if you are in a car or a bicycle then please leave Cowley House by the designated exit.
