Where could your next motorhome trip from London take you?

Collecting a motorhome around London gives you several different ways to begin a holiday, but the collection address matters as much as the destination. From the west of the capital, Windsor offers a short break centred on Windsor Castle and the Thames. Oxford provides another heritage option, with museums and historic streets to explore on foot. For countryside touring, the Cotswolds combine villages such as Broadway with Cirencester and the Corinium Museum. Choose one of these areas for a weekend rather than trying to fit several into the same trip.

Kent offers a contrasting journey towards Canterbury and its cathedral, while a longer West Country holiday can continue through Devon into Cornwall. Allow several overnight stops for that longer option, keeping time for exploring rather than spending each day behind the wheel. Before booking, compare the owner's collection location with your intended direction of travel and check the vehicle's registration against TfL's charging schemes. For visits within London, plan public transport from a confirmed overnight base instead of assuming a hired motorhome can park at each attraction.

Compare Motorhome Hire Options in London

Start your London motorhome search with the collection location and the kind of holiday you want to take. A vehicle on the western side of Greater London may suit a journey towards Windsor or the Cotswolds, while another collection point may fit a Kent itinerary better. Compare those arrangements alongside your dates, budget and party size. Check the number of belted travelling seats separately from the sleeping capacity, then look at bed layouts, bathroom facilities and storage for the equipment you intend to bring.

GoGallivanting lets you compare owner listings and send a booking request for your chosen vehicle. Read the collection and return arrangements before committing, particularly if you need to connect with a train or flight. Check the mileage allowance against your planned tour and ask which equipment is included, rather than assuming bedding or outdoor furniture comes with every hire. Review the vehicle's insurance, security-deposit and payment terms, together with any restrictions relevant to your plans. For travel in London, obtain the registration details needed to check applicable road-user charges before deciding your route.

Instead of searching multiple websites, you can:
  • Compare 2, 4 and 6 berth motorhomes side by side
  • Check real-time availability instantly
  • See clear Sleeps and Travels capacity on every listing
  • Save your favourites to a wishlist and return later
  • Send a booking request without immediate payment

When is the best time to hire a motorhome in London?

For a spring London break, combine a visit to Kew Gardens with time to explore the capital by public transport from your overnight base. If your main aim is a countryside holiday, use the collection point as the beginning of a trip towards Windsor, Oxford or the Cotswolds instead. Summer gives you more daylight for outdoor visits and time between touring stops, but your vehicle dates, attraction tickets and overnight pitches still need to work together. Avoid building an itinerary that depends on finding suitable motorhome parking outside every London landmark.

Autumn and winter can suit a city-focused itinerary built around indoor attractions such as the British Museum or Science Museum, with garden and riverside visits added when conditions suit. Check the current calendars for any exhibitions or seasonal events you intend to book, rather than assuming they run throughout your stay. For a winter hire, confirm the vehicle's heating and cold-weather arrangements with the owner and book a campsite operating on your dates. London's road-user charging rules also need checking for the particular vehicle and route, whatever the season.

What are the best parking options for motorhomes in London?

Finding parking for a motorhome in London can be tricky, especially in the city centre. Day parking for larger vehicles is best sought out in designated areas that cater for motorhomes, avoiding multi-storey car parks as they often have height restrictions. Additionally, on-street parking can be very limited in length, making it a challenge for longer campervans. Consider using park-and-ride facilities on the outskirts of the city; these allow for a smoother entry into the centre via public transport, alleviating the stress of navigating tight spaces.

For overnight parking, it’s advisable to opt for official campsites or club sites rather than attempting to park on the street. Many motorhome travellers find it practical to base themselves about 10 to 15 miles from central London. This provides a more manageable logistics situation while still allowing easy access to the capital via public transport links, ensuring a more enjoyable visit without the complications of urban parking.
