Car rental in London

There's much to see and do on a trip to London, and a car rental in the British capital puts a wealth of opportunities within your reach. From beautiful parks to picturesque towns and national monuments, a car rental in London grants you freedom from the busy streets and packed public transport so you can explore London and the surrounding area at your leisure.

Explore London and the South East with a car rental

Holidays in London can be about much more than Big Ben and Buckingham Palace when you rent a car with British Airways. If you're looking to explore some of the most idyllic locations in the South East of England, Richmond Park is easily accessible from London by car, featuring 2,500 acres of woodland and around 650 free roaming deer. You can also enjoy fantastic days out in stunning scenery by driving to the nearby towns of Windsor and Eton, only an hour from London by car and home to historical tourist attractions such as Windsor Castle.

A visit to Windsor doesn't all have to be about old buildings though, as Windsor is also the home of the popular Legoland - a great day out for all the family. Families with children should also be sure to visit Chessington World of Adventures, just 12 miles from London and reached most conveniently with a car rental - you'll even find free parking.

But if it's historical sites that you're yearning for, your London car rental also offers access to Canterbury, the University towns of Cambridge and Oxford, and the fascinating historical monument of Stonehenge in Wiltshire.
