Directions
Temple Road is now part of a Low Traffic Neighbourhood (LTN), and so vehicular access is from Oxford Road only.
From Oxford Road (B480) turn up Temple road opposite Cowley Police Station and between Grace Church (the former URC Church) on the left and the Oxfordshire History Centre (Formerly St Luke’s Church) on the right.
Pass Temple Cowley Library on your left and then turn immediately left down Sher Afzal Close, the entry is clearly signposted Silver Band Hall. Do not go as far as the Cricketer’s Arms pub.
