Rent a campervan and go on a city break in London 

London is a fabulous destination and one of the world’s most visited cities. It is a great place to stop off for a couple of days whilst on a campervan holiday before visiting other places in the surrounding areas such as Cambridge, Bournemouth or the Surrey Hills.

Whatever your interest there is lots to do and explore. Each London borough has its own flair alongside countless iconic sights such as Big Ben, the Tower of London and Buckingham Palace. You may want to immerse yourself in culture at one of the 170 museums or be at the cutting edge of food and fashion with 66 Michelin Star restaurants available alongside a shopper’s paradise of flea markets and vintage shops, luxury boutiques and department stores. For those who want a break from the hustle and bustle, why not relax and enjoy the natural beauty of the many parks including a number of Royal Parks.
