The campervan is the ultimate all-rounder. Effortlessly practical and built for freedom, it’s just as at home navigating tight city streets as it is exploring the heart of the countryside.
Why choose South East London for your road trip
South East London — a city worth exploring
South East London sits on the south bank of the Thames, where the Royal Observatory in Greenwich has marked the Prime Meridian — longitude zero — since 1851. From the maritime heritage of the Old Royal Naval College to the wide green spaces of Blackheath and the ancient woodland of Oxleas Wood, this corner of the capital offers a rewarding mix of history, nature and local character. You can wander the galleries at the Horniman Museum and Gardens in Forest Hill, catch panoramic views from the hilltop at Crystal Palace Park, or explore the street food stalls at Deptford Market Yard. Canterbury lies roughly 90 km to the south-east, while Brighton is about 85 km due south, making both ideal additions to a longer trip. The Thames Path runs through the area, and many residential streets are surprisingly spacious for larger vehicles, though height barriers do appear in some car parks. Hiring a campervan or motorhome through Yescapa connects you with local owners across south-east London, so you can collect your vehicle close to where you want to start and set off without the hassle of a depot transfer. Whether you are planning a weekend escape to the Kent coast or a week-long tour of the South Downs, picking up from this part of London puts you within easy reach of motorways heading south and east.
Best time to visit
Late spring through early autumn is ideal for exploring South East London by campervan. The Greenwich+Docklands International Festival lights up outdoor venues each June, while the Blackheath Fireworks display draws crowds every November. Summer months are the busiest for campervan hire, so booking your vehicle on Yescapa a few weeks ahead helps you secure the best choice and price from local owners. South East London's parks and riverside walks are enjoyable well into October, and quieter months often mean lower hire rates and easier parking at nearby campsites.
Top getaways from South East London
South East London is the perfect base for exploring the region by motorhome or campervan. Here are our 6 must-see getaways
South East London to Canterbury
90km southeast 1–4 days
Head 90 km south-east through the Kent countryside to reach Canterbury, home to Canterbury Cathedral and the medieval Westgate Towers. Stop at Faversham for its independent breweries and creek-side walks. Campsites around Canterbury offer spacious pitches with full hook-ups, and the city's park-and-ride keeps driving stress-free.
South East London to Whitstable
55km east 1–3 days
A 55 km drive east brings you to Whitstable, famous for its oyster beds and colourful beach huts along Tankerton Slopes. Browse the harbour market, then walk the coastal path to Herne Bay. Seafront parking areas accommodate campervans, and several nearby sites welcome overnight stays with sea views.
South East London to the New Forest
160km southwest 3–6 days
Travel 160 km south-west to the New Forest, where wild ponies roam open heathland. Visit Lyndhurst for the New Forest Heritage Centre and cycle the traffic-free routes around Brockenhurst. Motorhome-friendly campsites are plentiful, though booking ahead in summer is wise. The forest's quiet lanes suit larger vehicles well.
South East London to Eastbourne and the Seven Sisters
130km south 3–6 days
Drive 130 km south to Eastbourne and the chalk cliffs of the Seven Sisters. Walk from Birling Gap to Beachy Head for dramatic coastal scenery, then explore Eastbourne's Victorian seafront. Several campervan sites sit just inland, offering easy access to the South Downs Way.
South East London to the Jurassic Coast
240km southwest 5–8 days
Cover 240 km south-west to reach Dorset's Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Explore Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door, then continue to Weymouth for its sandy beach and harbour. Motorhome pitches along this stretch fill quickly in peak season, so plan your route and book early.
South East London to the Cotswolds
280km northwest 5–8 days
Head 280 km north-west into the Cotswolds, passing through honey-stone villages like Bourton-on-the-Water and Stow-on-the-Wold. Visit Blenheim Palace near Woodstock and sample local produce at Stroud Farmers' Market. Narrow lanes in some villages suit a campervan better than a larger motorhome.

Where to park your motorhome
Parking a larger vehicle in South East London requires a bit of planning. Many borough car parks enforce height barriers of around 2 metres, so always check restrictions before entering. Overnight parking on public roads is generally permitted unless signage states otherwise, but some areas fall within Controlled Parking Zones that restrict stays during the day. Look for dedicated motorhome or coach bays where available, and consider park-and-ride options on the outskirts.
- Greenwich Peninsula Car Park, 2km north — Large open-air car park near the O2 with generous height clearance, pay-and-display, and good public transport links into Greenwich town centre.
- Cutty Sark Gardens Car Park, 3km north — Located close to the Cutty Sark and Old Royal Naval College. Height restrictions apply, so check signage for vehicles over 2 metres.
- Crystal Palace Park Car Park, 5km south — Free car park beside Crystal Palace Park with spaces that can accommodate larger vehicles. Popular at weekends, so arrive early.
- Bluewater Shopping Centre Car Park, 25km east — Multi-storey and open-air sections available. The open-air areas suit taller campervans and offer easy access to the A2 and M25.

We thought our holiday was over before it had even started when our own motorhome broke down… then we found Yescapa. The booking process was easy to follow, and we were so grateful that the owners of the motorhome we hired were incredibly lovely and understanding of our situation. The hired motorhome was ideal for us, and we were able to finish our holiday and had an amazing time. Special thanks to the owners ❤️ Nous pensions que nos vacances étaient terminées avant même d’avoir commencé lorsque notre propre camping‑car est tombé en panne… puis nous avons découvert Yescapa. Le processus de réservation était simple à suivre, et nous sommes très reconnaissants que les propriétaires du camping‑car que nous avons loué aient été si adorables et compréhensifs face à notre situation. Le camping‑car loué était parfait pour nous, et nous avons pu poursuivre nos vacances et passer un séjour magnifique. Un grand merci aux propriétaires ❤️
