Recommended campervan Hire drives London
Driving around London is not an easy task in any way, shape, or form. One of the most famous drives outside the city centre, since it is not easy to drive within the city itself, is the drive from London to Cornwall. Although it is over 1110 kilometres, the drive itself is full of little villages and rolling hills as the backdrop, as well as the ability to understand the true English countryside, and the way of life that is not just London living. On the drive from London to Cornwall, you’ll not only see some amazing cliff drops, but get to glimpse into the history of one of the longest standing kingdoms of all time. Stop in Cornwall’s Lizard Peninsula to see some great English beaches that many people didn’t know existed, as well as visit historical places like the Pendennis Castle, Henry VIII’s 16th-century treasure.
Another one of the busiest drives is on the infamous M1 Motorway, leading from London north and into Leeds. You’ll pass through famous places like the Peak District National Forest, the Yorkshire Wildlife Park, Sherwood Forest, and Solitaire – the famous UNESCO Heritage Site. When you get a chance, you’ll love to visit the gorgeous Victorian quarters of Leeds.
London to Severn Beach is another famous drive, along the M3. You’ll head though the Reading Abbey Ruins and see places like Donnington Castle. You’ll also be able to visit other famous places like Bath and hike in the Cotswolds. 4.4 million people visit Bath per year, making it one of England’s most famous sights. Don’t forget to explore the countryside and architecture of North West Leicestershire.

London Campervan Hire Driving Tips
England drives on the right side and this has to be said because many drivers who come to England for the first time are often confused as to how it all works. England is also very strict on tickets for no seat belts, speeding, and things of that nature. Driving in central London is often difficult, but the outskirts are fairly easy. Always obey the traffic laws and try not to drive in London at peak hours around 7-9am and 5-7pm.
