If you’re looking to book a meeting room in Oxfordshire, location and accessibility are just as important as the facilities. One of the reasons so many teams choose Tapper Spaces in Banbury is our ideal position just a few minutes from the M40, the motorway that links London to Birmingham.
Whether you’re travelling from the capital, the Midlands, or Oxfordshire itself, getting to Tapper Spaces couldn’t be easier. And with a little planning around travel times, your journey can be smooth, stress-free, and on time for that all-important meeting.
Why the M40 Matters for Business Travel
The M40 motorway is one of the UK’s key business routes, connecting London, Oxford, Banbury, and Birmingham. For teams spread across the South East and Midlands, it provides the perfect halfway point, and that’s exactly why Tapper Spaces is so popular.
Banbury sits just off Junction 11 of the M40, meaning your journey ends with only a few minutes’ drive before you’re parked and ready to meet.
Best Times to Travel on the M40
Like all major motorways, the M40 experiences peak traffic at certain times. Planning your journey around these windows can make your trip to Banbury faster and more enjoyable.
Best Times to Travel:
-
Mid-morning (10am – 12pm): After the commuter rush, the road is generally clear, making it ideal for late-morning meetings.
-
Early afternoon (1:30pm – 3:30pm): Avoids lunchtime traffic and gets you back before the evening rush hour.
-
Evening (after 7pm): Useful for workshops or events finishing later in the day, when the motorway clears again.
Times to Avoid (if possible):
-
Weekday mornings (7am – 9am): Particularly heavy between Oxford and London, as well as near Birmingham.
-
Late afternoons (4:30pm – 6:30pm): Standard commuter traffic heading both north and south.
-
Friday evenings: Expect heavier volumes as people head out of the city for the weekend.
