Location: London Yard Studio, Ground Floor, Coach Mews, London Yard, Banbury OX16 5LZ
The studio is located in the pedestrianised area of the town centre in London Yard which is just off Parson's Street, opposite the Old Auctioneer. There are car parks at each end of Parson's Street (in the Market Place and North Bar) as well as directly behind the Old Auctioneer and in Bolton Road (the former multi-storey, which is now a street-level car park only). From either of these two car parks, it's a short walk along the path next to the Auctioneer garden into Parson's Street. As you enter London Yard, look to your right and you'll see a large stone building with two garage doors on the ground floor - the entrance to the studio is the brown door just beyond the garage doors with a sign “Temple of Yoga”.
