St Luke's Chapel

There are three parking spaces for Blue Badge holders available in front of the Radcliffe Humanities Building - these are all adjacent to the entrance. There is a sign in place to indicate the accessible spaces, but there are no floor markings to show where the spaces are or to give a protected transfer space. 

If you would like to book a parking space, please contact the organisers of the event that you are attending. 

There is public Blue Badge parking on St Giles just over 200 m away. Please click on the link below to view a map of Blue Badge parking in central Oxford.

The surface leading towards St Luke's is firm and level. There is a gentle ramp leading up to the entrance. The ramp is wide, and does not have handrails. There are double doors, which are usually held open during events giving a clear width of 1.4 m. This leads into a small entrance lobby and a second set of double doors - these are automated and have a clear width of 1.2 m. These lead into a small foyer with access to the WCs and the main event space.
