Banbury is the furthest of the Oxfordshire towns we have written directions for, 25 miles north of the office, and the train is the easy answer. Services from Banbury reach Oxford in around 20 minutes, and from Oxford station a taxi to Oxford Science Park takes about 15 minutes more. By car it is the M40 to junction 9, the A34 south and the ring road round to Heyford Hill, around three quarters of an hour.
A journey of that length is often what makes the test possible. Being examined 25 miles from home, in a business park where nobody knows you, removes the one worry that stops many people booking at all. The examination is conducted by an examiner trained to police standards in interviewing, in a private room reserved for your appointment, and the report reaches you within 24 hours.
By car: M40 south from junction 11 to junction 9, then the A34 south round the western bypass to Hinksey Hill and the southern bypass east to Heyford Hill, around 45 minutes. Oxford Science Park is off the A4074 just south of the roundabout, with parking onsite.
By train: direct services from Banbury reach Oxford in around 20 minutes. From Oxford station a taxi to the science park takes about 15 minutes.
Recommended office: John Eccles House, Oxford Science Park, around 45 minutes from Banbury by road or a short taxi from Oxford station. Exact directions are sent with your booking confirmation.
That is a question only you can answer, but consider what the trip buys. One issue that has been argued over for months is put to a set of agreed questions, recorded on a computerised instrument, scored under American Polygraph Association standards and set out in a written report with the charts attached. Two hours in the room and three quarters of an hour each way, against however long the matter has already been running.
The booking page shows live availability at the Oxford office, Monday to Friday. You choose a slot, pay online, and the appointment is confirmed the moment payment completes, with preparation notes and full directions to John Eccles House in the same email. Dates more than three days away can be secured with a £149 deposit.
