Why hire a campervan or motorhome in Greater London

Greater London — a region worth exploring

Greater London stretches across 1,572 square kilometres and is home to over 9 million people, making it the largest urban zone in Western Europe. From the iconic Thames Path National Trail, which winds 40 miles through the capital, to the vast green expanse of Richmond Park — London's largest royal park at 2,500 acres — this region rewards exploration at every turn. You can drive from Greenwich in the south-east to Hampton Court Palace in the south-west in roughly 25 miles, passing through a remarkable variety of neighbourhoods, each with its own character. Head north and Epping Forest offers ancient woodland on the Essex border, while Kew Gardens in the west holds over 50,000 living plants across 300 acres. The 15-mile stretch from Alexandra Palace to Crystal Palace Park takes you through some of London's most characterful suburbs, with plenty of green spaces to stop along the way. Greater London's outer boroughs are particularly well suited to campervan and motorhome travel, with quieter roads and accessible campsites compared to the congested centre. Through Yescapa, you can hire a campervan directly from local owners based across Greater London, choosing from a wide range of vehicles — from compact campervans ideal for couples to larger motorhomes for families. It is a practical, peer-to-peer way to begin your adventure right from the capital.

Best time to visit

Greater London is enjoyable year-round, though late spring and summer — May to September — bring the longest days and warmest weather for touring. The Notting Hill Carnival in August is Europe's largest street festival and a fantastic spectacle. Autumn offers a quieter pace, with fewer visitors and beautiful colours in parks like Richmond and Hampstead Heath. Hiring a campervan through Yescapa during the shoulder months of May or September often means better availability and more competitive peer-to-peer pricing from local owners across Greater London. Book ahead for the summer school holidays if you plan to explore beyond the capital.

What you need to know about roads and motorways in Greater London

Greater London's road network centres on the M25 orbital motorway, which encircles the capital and connects to all major routes heading out of the city. There are no tolls on the M25, but the Dartford Crossing (connecting Kent and Essex) charges a fee — you must pay online via the Dart Charge system. Within central London, the Congestion Charge and Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) apply to most vehicles, including motorhomes, so plan routes carefully. Speed limits for motorhomes under 3.05 tonnes match standard car limits, but heavier vehicles are restricted to 60 mph on motorways and 50 mph on dual carriageways.

What our users say about our campervans and motorhomes in Greater London

Attila
5 / 5

The trip was amazing. Francesca, the owner, helped us a lot and was always available. The van was really good, with big space inside. Highly recommended.

Andrea
5 / 5

Dominique is a wonderful, kind and attentive host. The van was perfect, clean and cosy. We loved the trip even though the high altitude passes were very scary especially as we are driving on the wrong side of the road!

Martin
5 / 5

Andre couldn’t have been more helpful, plus he is a positive, warm individual. The camper was superb in every way, hygienic, beautiful handling and equipped with everything needed, no silly extras for bedding. Brand new mattresses that were so comfortable and all the windows had bug netting so nothing could get in or bite us. Will definitely do this again, PLUS great value. Very very happy with service and equipment

Annemijn
5 / 5

Very nice owners, kind and flexible! The camper van was easy to understand, and comfortable to use - above expectation. Thank you!!

Elizabeth
4 / 5

Paloma was a pleasure to drive and really comfortable for our family of four. The van was equipped with everything we needed, beds were spacious and had safety nets, the shower and toilet were very handy, there was plenty of storage space and lots of room to move around. Susana was really helpful and accommodating and very easy to communicate with throughout our trip. The only disappointing aspect is that the fridge did not work, and the freezer only worked when plugged in. While the freezer was ok for keeping some items cool, it did make things considerably more difficult for us - we were travelling with 2 young children and cooked for ourselves most evenings. It was frustrating having to visit a shop every day/every other day and we ended up having to bin quite a lot of food. It is a shame this wasn't mentioned in the listing as it would have impacted our decision to book the van. Every other aspect was faultless and despite the issue with the fridge we had a really wonderful 2 week adventure in Paloma. We would definitely recommend if you are happy to operate without a fridge and can rely on the freezer.
