Arrival at St Edmund Hall
On arrival at St Edmund Hall (known as Teddy Hall) please report to the Porter’s Lodge at the main entrance on Queens Lane. Note that the entrance to the college is quite small – it’s on the right hand side of Queens Lane, about 50 metres up from the High Street. The postcode is OX1 4AR.
The Porter’s Lodge is on the right hand side as you go through the passage from the main entrance to the Front Quad and is almost impossible to miss. There may be signs on display saying that the college is closed to visitors, but please ignore them as they don’t apply to you.
The staff in the Porter’s Lodge are very friendly and should be expecting you. They have a list of names of everyone who is expected.
