The Boat House is located just upstream of the Elizabeth Way roadbridge, next to Emma's boat house. To get there on foot or bike:

1. Head out of college's main gates, round Pizza Hut, and along the side of Parker's Piece by the University Arms (Park Terrace).
2. From the corner of Parker's Piece head down Clarendon Street and continue to head straight on until you reach Midsummer Common.
3. Follow the path straight ahead, and follow it round to the right. You'll see a Magenta footbridge - head for that, and cross over.
4. Downing's Boat House is second on the right.

There is a gate on Cutter Ferry Path, or you can turn down the side of the bridge and walk along the riverside to the front of the Boat House.
