Oxford’s Temporary Congestion Charge: Rules and Payment

[IMG: OXFORD TIM DREW APRIL 2026_-28]

The congestion charge operates on Marston Ferry Road and Hollow Way Monday to Saturday during peak hours only (7.00 am to 9.00 am, and 3.00 pm to 6.00 pm).

If you drive a car through any of these marked locations during their operating hours without a permit, you will incur a daily charge of £5. This single daily payment allows you to drive through any of the six locations as many times as you like on that same day.

Payment must be made by midnight on the day after you travel. If you fail to pay the congestion charge on time, you will receive a £70 fine, which is reduced to £35 if paid within 14 days. You will not receive a reminder to pay. The charge must be settled proactively online via the Oxfordshire County Council website below. No account is required for one-off payments.

“The temptingly deep, standalone bathtub is another reason to love the Churchill Suites.” – The Telegraph

“At any moment we expected Alice and Queen of hearts to arrive… it was all quite magical.”

“Everything in the room just fits. The writing desk, the easy chairs with a lounge table, the walk-in shower and a very well stocked fridge. All of this in a charming period look.”

“Excellent hotel and very welcoming and friendly staff. We were fortunate to have a Junior Suite and it was immaculate, very spacious and overlooked the beautiful internal courtyard.”

“Exceptional. We stayed in the Churchill suite for two nights after our wedding and would thoroughly recommend this hotel.”

“Small touches that made a huge difference such as fresh milk in the fridge for our morning tea, a small concealed light that came on as soon as one entered the bathroom, complimentary water readily available – simple pleasures one expects but rarely experiences.”

“Stunning interiors throughout; we loved the library where we spent time relaxing, drinking champagne and trying to remember how to play chess!”

[H3] Reduced Mobility & Wheelchair Users

Should you require assistance with wheelchair-accessible transportation from Oxford Station or Gloucester Green Bus Station, we can arrange travel on your behalf. Vehicles may stop briefly in our private car park to drop off guests. We have a private accessible entrance with a ramp from the car park. This entrance leads directly to our two dedicated accessible rooms on the hotel’s ground floor. In each, there’s a King bed and a spacious marble wet room with a walk-in rainfall shower.

As the Grade 2* listed building dates back to the 17th century, original staircases remain. Therefore, while there is access to a wheelchair accessible bathroom and bedrooms, a portable ramp must be deployed by our teams to navigate several steps from the restaurant’s main dining room to the lavatory, and to the entrances/exits. There are also several steps to access the hotel library and upper floor levels. There is no lift in the hotel due to the constraints of the historical building.

Our reception team is readily available to assist with your luggage. Simply inform them of your request and they will be pleased to transport your belongings from your vehicle to your accommodation. The Parsonage Grill provides full waiter service.

[H5] Oscar Nemon

Nemon, a distinguished sculptor, enjoyed a close friendship with Randolph and Winston Churchill. Our Churchill Suites pays homage to the significant moment in 1951 when Oscar Nemon first met and sculpted Winston Churchill at La Mamounia Hotel in Marrakesh, where they were both guests. As they collaborated on subsequent formal portraits for prestigious locations like Windsor Castle, the Guildhall, and the House of Commons’ Members’ Lobby, a warm personal relationship blossomed between the two men.

Having arrived in Britain as a refugee with the tragic backdrop of losing most of his family to the Holocaust, Nemon’s deep-seated admiration for Churchill adds a poignant layer to their connection.

We are immensely privileged to feature a life-size bronze bust of Winston Churchill by Nemon, the first of its kind exhibited in Oxford. Proudly displayed on a special plinth within the context of Oscar Nemon at work, this bust becomes a centerpiece in our collection. Special thanks to the Nemon family for sharing this unique assortment of photographs and artifacts. For those seeking to take home a piece of history, replica bronze busts of Winston Churchill are available for purchase.

[H5] An Oxford Legacy

The Churchill Suites stand as a quiet tribute to Sir Winston Churchill, encapsulating the essence of his life beyond the political arena. As you step inside, the warmth of Churchill’s family life unfolds – playful moments with dogs, his cherished cigars, and more. Adorning the suites are copies of Josh Ireland’s book, ‘Churchill & Son,’ delving into the intricate relationships between Lord Randolph (father of Winston Churchill), Winston, and his favored son, Randolph, an alumnus of Merton College, Oxford.

Additionally, just a short trip from the hotel, Blenheim Palace, the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill, holds profound historical importance. Guests can seamlessly arrange a special visit to the Blenheim Palace Churchill Exhibition through our reception desk, ensuring a comprehensive celebration of the Churchill legacy during their stay in Oxford.

“A true stalwart of Oxford hospitality, the Old Parsonage Hotel has seen some of this city’s most dramatic moments throughout 600 years. But while it’s all ancient architecture and traditional Headington stone on the outside, inside you’ll find modern bedrooms, a contemporary library workspace and a decent all-day restaurant.” – The Telegraph

“Exceptional. We stayed in the Churchill suite for two nights after our wedding and would thoroughly recommend this hotel.”

“The temptingly deep, standalone bathtub is another reason to love the Churchill Suites.” – The Telegraph
