South Oxford Community Centre is situated at the end of Lake Street, off the Abingdon Road in Oxford, about one mile south of the city centre. It is within easy cycling and walking distance from the centre of town, and plenty of buses pass close by.

Please note that parking at the Centre is on the street and is very limited - we therefore encourage visitors to walk, cycle, or use public transport. There are cycle racks at the side of the building. If you do come by car, please show consideration for local residents when you park.
