Hello, we will be in Oxford for a day (a Monday, not during holiday), with luggage in our car. I see there are Park and Ride options. Are these safe do you think to leave with our luggage? Other options? Thank you.
I’d leave luggage in a car in the park and ride car parks. There is, I think, parking at the Westgate shopping centre but not sure of cost. If you drive there beware if 20mph speed limits and bus lanes
I’ve done this and would happily do it again, but obviously there are no guarantees.
Make sure the luggage is fully packed away in the boot of the car with nothing on view.
CCTV was beefed up at the Oxford P&R sites a few years ago & seems to have reduced theft significantly although I guess not entirely. Avoid the Seacourt site as the bus from there finishes quite a way outside of the centre due to interminable road closure.
Is your luggage on display or in the boot?
If the former then there isn’t a car park on the planet where you could be sure it was safe.
