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.

We had an amazing trip! Rafaela and Carina were so kind, and we couldn’t recommend their van enough 🤩🙏🏼 The van had everything we needed for a proper “van life” experience, and you can also stay at campsites whenever you want!

Fiona
5 / 5

We hired a motorhome from Cemil for a week to travel around Switzerland. We also visited France, Germany and Liechtenstein. Before the trip Cemil was helpful and responded to questions promptly. On the day of pick up he met us at the train station and the handover was smooth and quick. At the end if the trip it was also a very smooth transition and Cemil kindly drove us back to the airport. The van was great - very easy to drive and everything worked perfectly. All tolls and insurance were covered. We were very happy with the motorhome and would highly recommend renting from Cemil.

5 / 5

We had a great experience hiring this motorhome. Everything went smoothly and we had absolutely zero issues throughout our trip. Fernando kept us informed about everything from the beginning and was very friendly and helpful. He was also very flexible with both the pickup and drop-off times, which made everything much easier. The location is perfect, especially if you're arriving via Prague Airport. We travelled all the way to Hungary and back to Poland, staying at several off-grid locations along the way. We had an amazing time at Lake Balaton in Hungary and also loved our stay at the Pod Opaleńcem campsite in Świeradów-Zdrój, Poland. We would definitely recommend this motorhome hire and would happily rent from Fernando again!
