Oxford Temporary Congestion Charge
Please be aware that Oxfordshire County Council are introducing a temporary £5 congestion charge from Wednesday 29 October 2025 for cars travelling into a central area of the city . The Playhouse sits outside of the central permit area but if you are travelling through a congestion charge location which includes Hythe Bridge Street, Thames Street, St Cross Road and St Clements, you would need to pay the congestion charge. This scheme will operate from 7am - 7pm, 7 days a week and will remain in place until at least August 2026, when the Botley Road is due to reopen. For more information about the scheme please visit Oxfordshire County Council's website here.
Permits are available for Blue Badge holders and if you are an Oxfordshire resident you can apply for a number of free day passes.
