Where is Headington Hill Hall?

The Hall is part of the Oxford Brookes University Campus. It is at the city edge of Headington at the top of Headington Hill Hall. There are directions below.

On the day we have hired our village bus to take guests from the Hall (where we are getting hitched and having some nosh) back to Stanton St John where the Talkhouse Pub awaits.

There is plenty of parking at both the Talkhouse and Headington Hill Hall. It is up to you but maybe it's best to arrive at the Hall in a taxi and then get home later from the pub to your accommodation.

From the city centre you come out of town along over Magdalen Bridge, along St Clements and up Headington Hill. The entrance is at the top of the Hill on the left. Just ask the security man in the lodge. Tip: the Oxford city centre one-way is a nightmare. Ask for directions if unsure...

From outside of Oxford - come into Headington from the main London Road/Headington roundabout. Follow the road (London Rd/A420) right through Headington. At the brow of the hill is the entrance to the campus.

The Hall used to be the residence of Robert Maxwell. Look out for the stained glass window he had commissioned. He modestly depicts himself as Samson! The house was originally built in 1824 and Maxwell took on the lease in 1953 living there with his family.
