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 Canterbury

95km southeast 2–4 days

Canterbury lies roughly 95 km south-east of London, home to its UNESCO-listed cathedral. En route, stop in the historic town of Rochester to see its Norman castle. In Canterbury, walk the medieval old town and visit St Augustine's Abbey. Motorhome parking is available at the New Dover Road Park & Ride on the edge of the city.

London to Bath and Stonehenge

Drive around 150 km west of London to discover Bath and Stonehenge. In Bath, visit the Roman Baths and admire the Royal Crescent.

Allow three to five days to also explore Cotswolds villages like Castle Combe along the way.

London to Oxford and the Cotswolds

190km northwest 3–6 days

Oxford is about 95 km north-west of London, with the Cotswolds stretching a further 95 km beyond. Visit the Bodleian Library and the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford before driving your campervan through honey-coloured villages like Bourton-on-the-Water and Bibury. Country lanes can be narrow, but campsites in the area offer spacious pitches for all vehicle sizes.

London to Cornwall

280km southwest 5–8 days

Cornwall lies around 280 km south-west of London, rewarding you with dramatic coastal scenery. Visit the Eden Project near St Austell and the clifftop Minack Theatre at Porthcurno.

Head 85 km south from London to reach Brighton on the coast. Stop at Ditchling Beacon in the South Downs National Park for sweeping views across the hills.

350km north 5–8 days

The Peak District sits roughly 350 km north of London and is England's oldest national park. Explore the underground caverns at Castleton and hike up Kinder Scout, the park's highest point.

Frequently asked questions

What our users say about our campervans and motorhomes in London

Melquiades
4 / 5

Una parte del viaje bien, pero el final muy mal. El vehículo muy bien, y el dueño siempre contestó a cualquier duda que tuvimos durante el viaje. También nos pidió un favor, que devolviésemos la Camper dos horas antes de lo que habíamos contratado, y aunque nos suponía una espera de más de 3 horas en el aeropuerto, acepté, vista su amabilidad durante el viaje. Pero en la devolución, todo se estropeó. En el repaso que hizo al coche, vio un pequeño rozón del tamaño de una uña cortada, y otro rozón largo, pero que no tenía ni el grosor de un pelo (de hecho, a plena luz del día, sólo se veía si lo iluminaba con el flash del móvil...). Por esas dos pequeñeces, junto con una lengüeta de plástico del techo, de 1cm de tamaño, nos cobró 180€. Que además, no nos devolvió el resto de la fianza (que eran 750€) hasta casi 4 semanas después (hasta el 9 de septiembre cuando el vehículo lo recogió el 15 de agosto), y por si fuera poco la tardanza, no aportó absolutamente ningún recibo del coste de los arreglos. O sea, una sensación de indefensión total.

Feeling right at home Traveling across Portugal with Koda was a perfect, unique, and wonderful experience ☺️ Carina and Rafaela met us right at the airport and explained everything about the van—covering every detail clearly and effectively. We had never taken an off-the-cuff trip like this before; without any set plans, we drove all the way to Sagres, navigating easily through narrow roads, campsites, and stunning beaches 😍 Its compact size makes it comfortable to drive almost immediately, allowing for effortless maneuvering even on narrow roads, whether driving uphill or on light off-road terrain. The van is fully equipped: it has kitchenware, a sink, a convenient handheld shower, and even a solar shower, plus two camping chairs and an easy-to-assemble table. The bed is incredibly comfortable, and when not in use, it converts into a small bench. It was easy and delightful to feel right at home during this vacation; we can’t wait to return to Portugal to explore the north with Koda 🧡

Absolute pleasure to host this group of three! Everything went completely smoothly from pickup to return. They treated the camper with great respect, followed all guidelines, and kept in touch throughout the trip. Reliable, responsible, and friendly—10/10 renters, highly recommended to any owner on Yescapa!

Carlos was available and attentive throughout the entire process. We received a nearly new vehicle—clean, tidy, and fully equipped with everything needed for a camping trip for three people.

O Sergio e a família são pessoas incríveis. Cuidaram muito bem da carrinha e devolveram-na impecável. Foi tudo muito fácil, desde a comunicação até à entrega. Serão sempre bem-vindos e espero voltar a recebê-los em breve!

Beatriz

O Tiago e a Bruna foram impecáveis - cuidaram muito bem da carrinha ao longo de toda a viagem e a comunicação foi fácil do início ao fim. Adorei partilhar a experiência de van life com eles, numa carrinha que estimo tanto - foi também uma boa experiência para nós. Obrigada, Tiago!
