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 its engineering marvels, London rewards every kind of explorer. Wander through the galleries of Tate Modern on Bankside, trace centuries of royal history at the Tower of London, or lose yourself among the exotic plants inside Kew Gardens' Victorian glasshouses. Families love the interactive exhibits at the Science Museum in South Kensington, while foodies flock to Borough Market for artisan cheeses and freshly baked sourdough. The city also makes a superb launchpad for longer journeys: Canterbury lies just 95 km to the south-east, and the university city of Oxford is roughly 190 km to the north-west. London's road network fans out in every direction, so heading to the coast or the countryside in a campervan is straightforward once you clear the M25 orbital motorway. Keep in mind the Ultra Low Emission Zone covers most of Greater London, so check your vehicle's compliance before driving in. With Yescapa, you hire a motorhome or campervan directly from local owners across the capital, which means flexible pick-up points from Enfield to Croydon and genuine tips on the best routes out of the city.

Best time to visit

London welcomes visitors year-round, though late spring and summer — May to September — bring the longest days and warmest weather for touring by campervan. Time your trip for the Notting Hill Carnival in August, Europe's largest street festival, or catch the RHS Chelsea Flower Show each May. Autumn is ideal for quieter campsites and lower hire prices through Yescapa, while the festive season lights up the capital from November. Book your motorhome early for the summer months, when London is at its liveliest and demand from local owners peaks.

Where to park your motorhome

Driving a motorhome or campervan into central London requires planning. The Ultra Low Emission Zone covers most of Greater London, so confirm your vehicle meets emission standards before entering. Overnight parking on public roads is generally not permitted for large vehicles in many boroughs. Park-and-ride sites on the outskirts offer a practical alternative — park up, then take public transport into the centre. Always check height barriers before entering any car park.

  • Stratford Park & Ride, 12km east — Located in east London near the Olympic Park, with good bus and Tube links to the centre. Spaces can accommodate larger vehicles, though height restrictions apply at the barrier.
  • Brent Cross Shopping Centre Car Park, 10km northwest — Large multi-storey and surface car park in north-west London. Surface-level sections may suit campervans; check height limits before entering covered areas.
  • Lakeside Shopping Centre Car Park, 35km east — Situated just outside the M25 in Thurrock, Essex, with extensive open-air parking. A convenient spot to leave your motorhome while taking the train into central London.

Frequently asked questions

What our users say about our campervans and motorhomes in London

Maddison
5 / 5

This was such a phenomenal experience. Sharif was so kind, helpful, communicative and thoughtful. He went out of his way on multiple occasions to check in and offer valuable local advice and suggestions on things I could see, which was much appreciated as a solo female traveller. He helped me sort out issues, of which there were very few. He was super flexible on pick up and drop off and provided shuttle service to the airport so I didn't have to lug my bags away. I couldn't recommend this more. This was also my first time driving on the opposite side of the road than I'm used to and found the van easy to drive and see around.

ROSS

The pick up/ check out n was extremely long and this should be explained before booking to factor in as was a Friday evening.

David
5 / 5

The staff where very friendly and helpful and the vehicle was in good condition and well stocked with everything you needed for cooking. On the first day of collection staff member went over all the systems for this type of campervan I am planning to do another trip up the North of Scotland next year and will be booking from Indie Campers again.
