Getting to Lincoln
Lincoln College is one of three colleges on Turl Street in the centre of Oxford. The address is Lincoln College, Turl Street, Oxford, OX1 3DR. The front entrance is roughly at the midpoint of the street, opposite the ‘Missing Bean’ café. The College is on your right if coming from Turl Street, and on your left, past Brasenose Lane, if coming from Broad Street. You may also find our location on an interactive online map.
The first thing inside the College is a reception desk known as the Lodge.
For those arriving by car, please collect a temporary parking notice from the Lodge. This should be displayed in the windscreen of your car while you unload and move into your accommodation.
