Why choose London for your road trip

London — a city worth exploring

London's Thames Barrier, completed in 1984, remains one of the largest movable flood defences in the world, protecting 125 square kilometres of the capital from tidal surges. Beyond this feat of engineering, the city rewards those who explore it on wheels. The Tower of London, a 900-year-old fortress on the north bank, sits just 5 km from the Natural History Museum in South Kensington, where free entry makes it a favourite family stop. Head to Camden Market for street food and independent shops, or cross the Millennium Bridge on foot for views of St Paul's Cathedral and the Tate Modern gallery. London is also a brilliant launchpad for wider adventures — Brighton is 85 km south along the A23, while the university city of Oxford lies 90 km northwest via the M40. The road network around London is well-connected, though the city's Ultra Low Emission Zone covers most of Greater London, so it is worth checking your vehicle's compliance before driving in. With Yescapa, you can hire a campervan or motorhome directly from a local owner, often picking up from residential areas outside the congestion zone. This peer-to-peer approach means more choice, competitive pricing, and personal tips from someone who knows the area. Whether you are planning a weekend escape to the coast or a longer tour through southern England, renting from a Londoner gives your trip a genuinely local start.

Best time to visit

London welcomes visitors year-round, with each season offering its own appeal. Summer brings long daylight hours and events like the Notting Hill Carnival in late August, one of Europe's largest street festivals. Spring is ideal for exploring the Royal Parks in bloom, while the festive season fills the South Bank with Christmas markets from November. Campsite availability around London is best from April to October, so booking ahead for the summer months is a smart move. With Yescapa, peer-to-peer pricing often makes hiring a campervan more affordable than traditional rental, especially outside peak July and August weeks.

Top getaways from London

London is the perfect base for exploring the region by motorhome or campervan. Here are our 6 must-see getaways

London to Brighton

85km south 1–4 days

Head 85 km south from London to the seaside city of Brighton. Stroll along Brighton Palace Pier, explore The Lanes for vintage shops, and visit the Royal Pavilion. The A23 is a straightforward drive, and there are several campervan-friendly car parks near the seafront. A weekend trip gives you time to enjoy the South Downs on the way.

London to the Jurassic Coast

190km southwest 3–6 days

Head 190 km southwest from London to reach the Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO-listed stretch of Dorset shoreline. Stop at Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove for dramatic coastal walks, and visit the market town of Dorchester along the way. Campervan parking is available at dedicated coastal car parks, and several campsites sit within walking distance of the cliffs.

London to Oxford

90km northwest 1–4 days

Drive 90 km northwest from London to Oxford, home to the oldest university in the English-speaking world. Visit the Bodleian Library, climb the tower of the University Church of St Mary the Virgin, and wander through the covered market. Parking for larger vehicles is available at Redbridge Park and Ride, making it easy to reach the city centre by bus.

London to Canterbury and the Kent Coast

130km southeast 3–6 days

Travel 130 km southeast from London through the Garden of England. Explore Canterbury Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, then continue to the white cliffs at Dover and the charming harbour town of Whitstable. Kent offers well-equipped motorhome sites with hook-ups, and the M2 motorway keeps the drive smooth all the way to the coast.

London to the Cotswolds and Bath

280km west 5–8 days

Drive 280 km west from London for a loop through the Cotswolds and the Georgian city of Bath. Visit Bourton-on-the-Water, Stow-on-the-Wold, and the Roman Baths. Country lanes can be narrow, so a campervan is easier to manoeuvre than a larger motorhome here. Campsites in the Cotswolds often have spacious pitches surrounded by rolling countryside.

London to the Lake District

400km northwest 5–8 days

Set off 400 km northwest from London towards the Lake District, England's largest national park. Cruise past Windermere, hike to the summit of Catbells, and explore the town of Keswick. The M6 motorway makes the journey straightforward, and the region has plenty of motorhome-friendly campsites with fell views. Allow a full week to take in the lakes and mountain passes at a relaxed pace.

Always check height restrictions before entering any car park.

  • Lakeside Park and Ride, 35km east — Large car park at Lakeside Shopping Centre in Thurrock with spaces suitable for motorhomes. Easy access from the M25.
  • Redbridge Park and Ride, 90km northwest — Located on the edge of Oxford, useful if combining a London trip with a visit to Oxford. Accepts larger vehicles and connects to city buses.

Exceptional experience, I highly recommend it! Nuno is responsive, attentive and genuinely caring: he picked us up at the airport and provided us with a comprehensive list of must-see spots to explore the island, eat and sleep. Thanks to him, we discovered Madeira in a truly unique and authentic way. An unforgettable trip, made possible in large part by his invaluable help.
