Why hire a motorhome in London?

London — a city worth exploring

A motorhome turns a London trip into a proper touring holiday. With a full kitchen, comfortable beds and a bathroom on board, you have everything a family or group of friends needs to travel in comfort — and London is the ideal city to start from. Park at a campsite on the edge of the city, hop on the tube, and you are in the heart of the action within minutes.

Take the family to the Science Museum in South Kensington, let the kids burn off energy in the Diana Memorial Playground in Hyde Park, and visit the Tower of London to see the Crown Jewels. When hunger strikes, head to Camden Market for a world tour of street food or grab a table at a traditional pie-and-mash shop in the East End. Greenwich is another family favourite — the Cutty Sark, the National Maritime Museum and the Royal Observatory are all in walking distance of each other.

Once you have had your fill of the capital, the motorways fan out in every direction. The M4 takes you towards Windsor Castle and the Cotswolds. The M1 points north to the Midlands and beyond. The M20 leads to the Channel Tunnel for trips to France. A spacious motorhome gives your group room to spread out on longer journeys, with the bonus of being able to pull over for lunch wherever the view looks good.

The best time of year to hire a motorhome in London

For families, the school holidays from late July through August are the most popular period — expect the widest choice of motorhomes but also the highest prices and the busiest campsites. Booking well ahead, ideally three to four months in advance, is the best way to secure a good deal during peak season.

If your travel dates are flexible, May to June and September offer an excellent balance of warm weather, longer daylight hours and lower costs. The London Marathon takes place in April, the BBC Proms run from mid-July to mid-September, and autumn brings the spectacular Bonfire Night fireworks in November. Even winter has appeal — Christmas markets, festive lights on Oxford Street, and New Year's Eve fireworks along the Thames.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a motorhome hire cost in London?

On Goboony, a 4-berth family motorhome near London typically costs between £100 and £160 per night. Larger 6-berth vehicles range from £140 to £220 per night, depending on age, specification and season. Many owners offer reduced weekly rates, so longer trips often work out cheaper per night. Check each listing for what extras are included.

Where can I pick up a motorhome near London?

Goboony motorhomes are listed by private owners across the wider London area. Pick-up points include neighbourhoods such as Croydon, Enfield, Barking, Bromley and Hounslow, plus towns like Watford, Romford, Dartford and Guildford. You agree the exact collection location with the owner when you confirm your booking.

How can I find cheap motorhome rental in London?

Travel outside peak season for the most competitive prices — September and October often offer warm weather and lower rates. Use Goboony's filters to sort by price and look for owners offering weekly discounts. Slightly older vehicles or those without the latest extras can be significantly cheaper without sacrificing comfort.

What's the best vehicle size for my group?

A 4-berth motorhome works well for a couple wanting extra space or a small family with one or two children. For larger families or groups of friends, a 6-berth motorhome provides separate sleeping areas, a full bathroom and a living space where everyone can sit together comfortably. Consider how much driving you will do — larger vehicles use more fuel.

Are there dog-friendly campervans and motorhomes for hire near London?

Yes, many Goboony owners welcome well-behaved dogs in their motorhomes. Filter your search for pet-friendly vehicles on the website. Popular dog walks near London include Epping Forest, Hampstead Heath and Richmond Park. Most campsites around the city, such as Crystal Palace and Abbey Wood, are also dog-friendly.
