Luggage storage at Oxford Train Station

Oxford Train Station is the city's main rail hub, sitting about half a mile west of the centre in the West End and serving everyone from university students to day-trippers arriving from London Paddington, Reading, Worcester and Banbury.

It's a busy intercity stop with step-free access to all platforms, a waiting room open most of the day, and taxi ranks right outside for the short ride into town. The one thing it doesn't have is anywhere to leave a bag: there are no luggage storage facilities at the station itself, so arriving early or leaving late means planning around that gap.

Oxford railway station is also a main line station, not just a local stop. Great Western Railway operates direct intercity services from here to London Paddington. With Stasher, you can store bags from £1.49 per bag per day at 10+ locations near Oxford Train Station.

Walking to the city centre and historic sights with bags

Oxford Train Station is a 5-10-minute walk from the centre of Oxford, and Oxford Castle & Prison is located a 10-minute walk from Oxford Train Station. Oxford Castle & Prison asks visitors to store suitcases and large rucksacks in lockers inside the Gift Shop for a non-refundable £1, since luggage isn't allowed on site.

Christ Church College is stricter: it has no left luggage facilities at all, and anything larger than 40cm x 30cm x 20cm won't get through the door. Carfax Tower is another one to approach bag-free, because reaching its viewing platform means 99 narrow, winding steps with no lift.

If you're heading to the Sheldonian Theatre area, the station is the closest rail stop at roughly a 20-minute walk or a 10-minute taxi ride.

Theatres and other visits near the station

Oxford Playhouse sits a 10-minute walk from the station and does have a cloakroom on its basement level, so theatregoers can drop coats and small bags there.

For travellers connecting onward to Heathrow or Gatwick, the airline bus service picks up from the city centre rather than the station itself.
