'Access to Headington' Roadworks 2019
Access to the JR has been severely affected by the roadworks on Headley Way, which will continue until summer 2019.
During the roadworks, please allow an extra 45-60 minutes' journey time to get to the hospital if you are travelling by car.
This does not include the time taken to find a parking space.
For the full plan, and to sign up for email updates, please see: www.oxfordshire.gov.uk/accessheadington

Parking
Please do not drive unless you have no other option: parking space is very limited and there is no on-street parking nearby. If you have no alternative, please allow one hour to find a space. We strongly advise you to make every possible effort to travel by other means.
Understanding the floor 'Levels'
- Level LG2: ground floor entrance level for West Wing and Children's Hospital, at the foot of the hill.
- Level LG1: one floor above the ground floor.
- Level 0: one floor above LG1, and at the same level as the basement floor of the main John Radcliffe Hospital building, which is situated further up the hill. Please note that Level 0 of the main hospital building is a basement service area only, and not open to the public.
- Level 1: one floor above Level 0, and at the same level of Level 1 of the main John Radcliffe Hospital building. There is an entrance to the main hospital building on this level from the car park, where an escalator leads up to the League of Friends Cafe.
- Level 2: the top floor of the West Wing and Children's Hospital, and on the same level as Level 2 of the John Radcliffe Hospital main building, where the main hospital entrance and Welcome Centre is located. A link corridor on Level 2 connects the Children's Hospital (but not the West Wing) with the League of Friends cafe area in the main building: follow signs for 'main hospital'.
- Levels 3 - 7: (main hospital only) take the lifts in the main lift lobby a little further along the corridor from the main hospital entrance on Level 2.
- The Women's Centre is a separate, very similar building next to the John Radcliffe main hospital building and has a separate main entrance from the car park, also on 'Level 2'.
If you have concerns about where to attend for your appointment, please contact the relevant department.
