The Court Funds Office is situated at Laganside House, 23-27 Oxford Street, next to Laganside Courts and the Royal Courts of Justice, Belfast.
Court Funds Office is close to Central Railway Station and the Laganside bus station at Donegall Quay which is one of the two city centre terminals for Ulsterbus. The other is in Glengall Street. At the moment there is no link between the two terminals so the quickest route is along Great Victoria Street to Wellington Place, leading directly into Chichester Street which meets Victoria Street with its junction. Go straight ahead to Oxford Street. Turn left on reaching Laganside Courts, Laganside House is the next building past the courthouse. This is about a 20 minute walk. There is a taxi rank at the City Hall. The nearest Citybus stop to Court Funds Office is in Oxford Street just before the Waterfront Hall. The main terminus is around the City Hall area in Donegall Square.
