Why choose London for your road trip

London — a city worth exploring

London's Thames Barrier, completed in 1984, remains one of the largest moveable flood defences in the world, protecting 125 square kilometres of the capital from tidal surges. Beyond this feat of engineering, the city offers an extraordinary range of experiences for travellers on wheels. Wander through the galleries of Tate Modern on the South Bank, explore the vast green spaces of Richmond Park — home to over 600 free-roaming deer — or take in panoramic views from the top of Greenwich's Royal Observatory. The Tower of London, with nearly a thousand years of history, sits just a short walk from the bustling Borough Market, where you can stock up on artisan food for the road ahead. For day trips, Canterbury is roughly 95 km to the south-east, while the university city of Oxford lies about 190 km to the north-west — both well within reach for a comfortable drive. London's size means navigating the centre in a larger vehicle requires some planning; the Ultra Low Emission Zone covers most of inner London, so checking compliance before you set off is wise. Surrounding areas such as Hertfordshire and Surrey offer quieter, greener routes that suit motorhome travel perfectly. With Yescapa, you can hire a campervan directly from a local owner, often picking up from residential areas outside the congestion zone. This peer-to-peer approach means more choice, competitive pricing, and a personal touch — owners frequently share their favourite routes and tips for making the most of a London-based road trip.

Best time to visit

London welcomes visitors year-round, but late spring through early autumn is especially rewarding for campervan travel. The Notting Hill Carnival in August fills the streets with colour and music, while the RHS Chelsea Flower Show in May draws garden lovers from across the globe. Summer months bring longer daylight hours, ideal for exploring the countryside around London. Booking your motorhome through Yescapa during shoulder months like May or September often means better availability and more competitive hire rates from local owners. Plan ahead for bank holiday weekends, when campsites near London tend to fill quickly.

Top getaways from London

London is the perfect base for exploring the region by motorhome or campervan. Here are our 6 must-see getaways

London to Canterbury

95km southeast 2–4 days

Head 95 km south-east from London through the Kent countryside to the historic cathedral city of Canterbury. Stop at Leeds Castle near Maidstone and explore Canterbury Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Campervan-friendly parking is available on the outskirts of the city centre.

London to Bath and Stonehenge

150km west 3–6 days

This 150 km westward route from London takes you to the ancient stone circle at Stonehenge and the Georgian splendour of Bath's Royal Crescent. Allow time for the Roman Baths and a soak at Thermae Bath Spa. Several well-equipped motorhome sites sit just outside Bath.

London to Oxford and the Cotswolds

190km northwest 3–6 days

Drive 190 km north-west from London to Oxford, home to the Bodleian Library and Christ Church College. Continue into the Cotswolds to visit Bourton-on-the-Water and Stow-on-the-Wold. Narrow lanes in some villages suit smaller campervans best — check your vehicle width.

London to Cornwall

280km southwest 5–8 days

A 280 km south-west journey from London brings you to Cornwall's dramatic coastline. Visit St Ives for its art galleries and Tintagel Castle for Arthurian legend. Motorhome pitches along the coast are plentiful, though booking ahead in summer is a good idea.

London to Brighton

85km south 1–4 days

Just 85 km south of London, Brighton offers the iconic Royal Pavilion and a lively seafront. Stroll through The Lanes for independent shops and grab fish and chips on the pier. Park-and-ride options on the city fringe work well for larger vehicles.

Campsites and parkings for recreational vehicles in London

Recommended campsites

London may be a major metropolis, but there are several well-run campsites within and around the city that cater to both campervans and motorhomes. Sites on the outskirts — in areas like Hertfordshire, Surrey, and south-east London — offer electric hook-ups, modern shower blocks, and waste disposal facilities. Many are close to public transport links, making it easy to leave your vehicle on the pitch and explore central London by train or bus.

  • Lee Valley Camping and Caravan Park Edmonton, London (15km north)Electric hook-ups, toilets, showers, laundry, on-site shop, play area
  • Crystal Palace Caravan and Motorhome Club Site Crystal Palace, London (12km south)Electric hook-ups, toilets, showers, hardstanding pitches, waste disposal

  • Alderstead Heath Caravan Club Site Merstham, Surrey (30km south)Electric hook-ups, toilets, showers, hardstanding pitches, woodland walks
  • Theobalds Park Camping and Caravanning Club Site Waltham Cross, Hertfordshire (25km north)Electric hook-ups, toilets, showers, laundry, play area, Wi-Fi

Where to park your motorhome

Parking a motorhome or campervan in central London requires careful planning. The Ultra Low Emission Zone covers most of inner London, and height barriers restrict many multi-storey car parks. Park-and-ride facilities on the outskirts are often the most practical option — they offer generous bay sizes and direct public transport links into the centre. Overnight parking on public roads is generally permitted unless signage states otherwise, but always check local council restrictions.

  • Stratford Park & Ride, 12km east — Large open-air car park near Westfield Stratford City with good clearance for taller vehicles. Direct links to the Central and Jubilee lines for easy access to central London.
  • Brent Cross Shopping Centre Car Park, 10km northwest — Spacious surface-level parking in north London with generous bay sizes. Close to the A406 North Circular, handy for arrivals from the M1 motorway.
  • Lakeside Shopping Centre Car Park, 35km east — Large open-air car park just off the M25 in Thurrock, Essex. Suitable for larger vehicles and a practical base before heading into London via the c2c rail line.
