Church House Oxford is located on a business park near Oxford airport. Our address is:

Church House Oxford
Langford Locks
Kidlington
Oxford
OX5 1GF

The switchboard number is 01865 208 200.

On arrival

There is ramped access to the main doors of Church House, with push buttons on the left side of each set of glass doors (outer and inner) to open the power assisted doors.

The reception desk is situated immediately inside the inner doors, alongside the open plan café which has moveable seating. You will be asked to sign in (and if you are using our car park, we will ask for your vehicle registration number) and given a visitors lanyard to wear whilst you are onsite. 

To the left of the main doors are the toilets, including a wheelchair accessible toilet. There is a 2nd accessible toilet on the 1st floor.

The stairs are through the door from reception. We have a lift, which comfortably accommodates a manual wheelchair/a powerchair. It provides access to the 1st and 2nd floors. Please note, regrettably the lift is currently out of order. We are fixing it as a matter of urgency and hope to have it available again soon. Please email reception if you have any questions during this time. A ground floor meeting room is available.

The Chapel and the main meeting rooms (Committee Room 1 and 2) are situated on the 1st floor.

If possible, please come by public transport.

Electric vehicle charging

From March 2023, charging at Church House Oxford is provided by OpCharge, working in partnership with local suppliers Evie Chargers and Compleo. Find out more about this groundbreaking partnership, the first in the UK. Please note that you will need the OpCharge app installed on your phone and charging is 32p/Kwh

How to use the chargers

  • Available charge points can be seen in the app
  • Connect your vehicle - plug one end of your charging cable into your vehicle and the other end into the charge point socket.
  • Select the charge point in the app to charge your vehicle. Tap the button labelled “Charge” at the bottom of the charger information pane.
  • Confirm your vehicle and payment card. After your payment card has been processed and communication with the charge point has been established, the charging session should begin (this may take up to a minute to complete).
  • Disconnecting your vehicle terminates the charging session and calculates the fee that will be charged to your payment card. The final fee that will be charged to your payment card should display automatically in the app within a few seconds of disconnecting your vehicle.

What charging cable will I need?

How do I pay to charge my vehicle?

How can I get a receipt?

You can receive receipts automatically by subscribing to the "EV charging session terminated" email notification (registered users only).

I cannot remove my cable from the charge point, what should I do?
