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

90km southeast 1–4 days

Head 90 km southeast from London to Canterbury, home to the magnificent Canterbury Cathedral and the medieval Westgate Towers. Stop at Whitstable along the way for fresh oysters by the harbour. The drive takes around 90 minutes, and campervan-friendly parking is available near the city walls. A perfect short break with history and coast combined.

London to Brighton

75km south 1–3 days

Brighton sits just 75 km south of London and makes for an easy weekend escape. Stroll along Brighton Palace Pier, explore the quirky shops of The Lanes, and visit the Royal Pavilion with its Indian-inspired architecture. Motorhome parking is available at Brighton Marina, and the seafront offers plenty of space to stretch your legs after the drive.

London to the New Forest

Drive 150 km southwest from London into the New Forest National Park, where wild ponies roam freely across open heathland. Visit the charming village of Lyndhurst and explore Beaulieu Motor Museum.

Head 180 km west from London to reach Bath, famous for its Roman Baths and Georgian Royal Crescent. From there, wind through the Cotswolds, stopping at Bourton-on-the-Water and Stow-on-the-Wold.

London and its surroundings offer a good selection of campsites suited to both campervans and motorhomes. While sites within the city centre are limited, you will find well-equipped options in the green belt and nearby counties, many with electric hook-ups, modern shower blocks, and spacious hardstanding pitches. Several sites provide easy access to public transport links into central London, so you can leave your vehicle and explore the city by train or bus.

Where to park your motorhome

Parking a motorhome or campervan in London requires some planning, as central areas have height and length restrictions. The Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) covers most of Greater London, so check your vehicle's compliance before entering. Overnight parking on public streets is generally not permitted for large vehicles. Park-and-ride facilities on the outskirts offer a practical alternative — leave your vehicle and take public transport into the centre. Always check signage for time limits and size restrictions before parking.

  • Lakeside Park and Ride (Thurrock), 40km east — Large car park near the M25 with spaces suitable for oversized vehicles. Direct bus links to nearby stations and shopping areas. Free parking available.
  • Brent Cross Shopping Centre Car Park, 10km northwest — Multi-storey and surface parking near the North Circular. Height restrictions apply in the multi-storey section, but the surface car park can accommodate larger vehicles during off-peak hours. Close to Northern line tube station.
  • Bluewater Shopping Centre Car Park, 30km southeast — Spacious open-air car park just off the M25 in Kent. Suitable for larger vehicles with generous bay sizes. Well connected by bus to Dartford and Gravesend stations for onward travel into London.

Pepe was lovely from beginning to end. All of our requests were accommodated and he was responsive when needed. The pickup service was very nice, even though we were a bit delayed at the beginning (also around 23.30) he still patiently waited for us at the airport without a hassle. This made the beginning of the trip very nice and the small gift was consumed almost immediately, thank you once again. ;) The van was super also, the bad is very very comfy, I am 183 cms and it was perfect for my height. The AC is a very nice addition also, which made even the staying in the blazing sun bearable in the van. Would recommend both the host and the van to anyone!

We had a superb long weekend trip in Gonçalo’s converted van and couldn’t be happier with the experience. Gonçalo was a very friendly owner and always responded promptly to all our questions, which made everything easy and stress-free from the beginning. The van came with everything we needed and was very well prepared for our trip. It was comfortable, practical, and perfectly suited for our family of four. Gonçalo was also incredibly helpful throughout, which we really appreciated. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend both Gonçalo and his van to anyone looking for a great family campervan experience.

Mathieu was easy to communicate with and flexible. The van is perfect- simple, well organized, and very comfortable for sleeping. Mathieu equips the kitchen with some basics, and 2 camping chairs- it is really nice.

We had a great Motorhome Experience in the Dordogne area in France! Guy’s motorhome had everything we needed for a comfortable and adventurous stay. A great kingsize bed (for a motorhome anyway…) and large fridge, warm water, heating everything is there. If you’re looking for a reliable modern motorhome rental , we highly recommend renting Guy’s motorhome. Marian & Wim.
