By road:
M40 junction 9 from the north (A34), junction 8 from the south (A40). The British Potato Council's offices are just inside the ring road (locally known as the Eastern Bypass) on the eastern side of Oxford. Join the ring road in the direction signposted for Cowley and leave at the junction with the B480 (signposted Watlington, Oxford Business Park, Cowley, and/or Blackbird Leys). This is a flyover and roundabout called 'Cowley Junction'. Take the exit for Oxford Business Park. The next roundabout has a tall stone pinnacle in the middle. Take the first exit (for Oxford Business Park South). There is a another roundabout in just a few metres with landscaped waterfalls. Take the second exit. A little way down this road take the first right into Nash Court. The British Potato Council office is then directly ahead of you in the centre of the group.

There is a regular train service from London Paddington, and from Birmingham and stations beyond. For information refer to www.nationalrail.co.uk/planmyjourney or telephone National Rail Enquiries on 08457 48 49 50 (24 hours, local call). You can take a taxi from the station, but there is also a bus (Cityline service 5) running from outside the station to within 10 minutes of the BPC office (see below for details).
