Things to do and places to see in London

London offers incredible attractions easily accessible by car, from the Tower of London's ancient walls to the modern skyline of Canary Wharf. You can drive through Hyde Park's perimeter to reach Kensington Palace, explore the vibrant street art of Shoreditch, or visit the historic Greenwich Observatory. A Volkswagen hire enhances your London experience with comfortable seating for longer journeys and ample boot space for shopping bags from Borough Market or Portobello Road. The city's diverse neighbourhoods, from trendy Notting Hill to historic Southwark, become easily accessible when you have your own vehicle.


Tower Bridge and the Thames waterfront

Tower Bridge stands as London's most photographed landmark, offering spectacular views from its glass walkways high above the Thames. You'll find convenient parking options near the Tower of London, making it easy to explore both attractions in one visit. Your rental car provides comfortable transport along the scenic Thames Path, where you can stop at various viewpoints to capture the perfect shot of this Victorian masterpiece.


Hampstead Heath and Kenwood House

Hampstead Heath sprawls across 320 hectares of ancient parkland, featuring swimming ponds, woodlands, and Parliament Hill's panoramic London views. The area offers several car parks, though spaces fill quickly on sunny weekends. Your Volkswagen's efficient engine handles the winding roads through this elevated part of London with ease, while the comfortable interior makes the journey to this natural oasis particularly enjoyable.


Greenwich Maritime Quarter

Greenwich combines royal history with maritime heritage, home to the Cutty Sark, National Maritime Museum, and the Prime Meridian Line. You'll discover excellent parking facilities near the town centre, perfect for exploring the UNESCO World Heritage site on foot. A Volkswagen hire makes the journey to this historic borough straightforward, offering reliable transport to one of London's most significant cultural destinations.


Richmond Park and Kew Gardens

Richmond Park encompasses 955 hectares of grassland and woodland, famous for its free-roaming deer herds and Isabella Plantation's stunning azaleas. The park provides multiple entry points with parking areas, though early arrival ensures the best spots. Your rental car's smooth handling makes navigating the park's internal roads a pleasure, while the spacious interior accommodates picnic supplies and photography equipment for a perfect day out.


Camden Market and Regent's Canal

Camden Market buzzes with alternative fashion, vintage finds, and international street food across its various market halls and outdoor stalls. You'll find several multi-storey car parks within walking distance of the main market areas. A Volkswagen provides secure storage for your purchases while you explore the eclectic shops, and its compact dimensions make parking in this busy area much more manageable.
