Why hire a campervan in London?

London — a city worth exploring

A campervan is the smartest way to explore London and beyond. Compact enough to navigate city streets, easy to park at suburban campsites, and ready to take you wherever you fancy — all without worrying about hotel check-out times or train timetables. London rewards curiosity, and a campervan gives you the flexibility to follow yours.

Spend a morning at the Natural History Museum in Kensington, then drive out to Richmond Park to spot red deer roaming through 2,500 acres of ancient parkland. Head east to the vibrant street art of Shoreditch, refuel at one of Brick Lane's curry houses, then park up at Abbey Wood and catch the Elizabeth line into the West End for an evening show. The city's neighbourhoods each have their own character, and with a campervan you can dip in and out at will.

When you are ready to leave the city, London's position in the south-east of England makes it a natural launching pad. The white cliffs at Dover are under two hours away. The medieval town of Rye sits on the East Sussex coast, and the vineyard-dotted hills of the North Downs run right through Surrey and Kent. A compact campervan is the ideal vehicle for these winding country roads, where tight lanes and small car parks would challenge a larger motorhome.

The best time of year to hire a motorhome in London

Late spring and early autumn are ideal for campervan travel around London. From April to June, the weather warms up, the days stretch longer, and popular campsites still have availability. The Chelsea Flower Show takes place in May, Wimbledon begins in late June, and the parks are at their best. September and October offer pleasant temperatures, golden autumn colours, and lower hire prices once the school holidays end.

Summer, from July through August, is the busiest period — expect higher rates and fuller campsites, but also the longest days and the liveliest atmosphere. Winter travel suits adventurous types: November's Bonfire Night and December's festive markets at the Southbank Centre are well worth braving the colder weather.

Popular motorhome trips from London for couples

London to Whitstable

100 km 1-2 days

Drive east along the M2 towards the Kent coast. Whitstable is famous for its oysters, pastel beach huts and independent galleries. Walk the harbour at sunset, pick up fresh seafood at the harbour market, and park your campervan at a nearby site for a relaxed coastal overnight.

London to Rye

100 km 1-2 days

Take the A21 south-east to reach one of England's best-preserved medieval towns. Wander the cobbled Mermaid Street, climb the tower of St Mary's Church for rooftop views, and explore the antique shops. Continue to Camber Sands for wide, windswept beaches — ideal for a couple's escape.

London to Marlow and the Thames Valley

55 km 1 day

Head west along the M4 then branch off to the pretty riverside town of Marlow, just an hour from central London. Cross the Grade I-listed suspension bridge, stroll the Thames Path, and stop for lunch at a riverside pub. A perfect day trip in a compact campervan.

Popular adventure trips from London

London to the South Downs

110 km 2-3 days

Drive south on the A3 to reach the South Downs National Park. Hike to the top of the Seven Sisters chalk cliffs for sweeping sea views, explore the market town of Lewes, and camp near Beachy Head lighthouse. The rolling downland offers some of the best walking in southern England.

London to the Suffolk Coast

170 km 2-3 days

Head north-east on the A12 to reach the wild Suffolk coastline. Visit the RSPB reserve at Minsmere, wander the colourful seafront at Aldeburgh, and explore the eerie ruins of Dunwich. The quiet roads and uncrowded beaches make this a rewarding adventure route.

London to the Isle of Wight

160 km 2-4 days
