Motorhome & Campervan Hire in London

When you rent a motorhome in London you’ll need to fill up on fresh water and then empty your waste water at the end of your trip. Unlike America and continental Europe there are not many places to do this other than campsites, so the best option is to start and finish your adventure with a stay at a campsite that has these facilities. Some campsites allow you to use their facilities for a small fee if not staying there. This map when filtered for ‘Aires with disposal services’ shows available waste disposal sites – you can see how rare they are in the UK, so a campsite with these facilities is ideal.

When you hire a campervan in London you’ll need to return it with a full tank of diesel and refill the AdBlue. The BP petrol station on Great South-West road is the nearest to us where you can do both:

• BP – Great South-West Rd, Feltham TW14 0PR

Please note: The AdBlue service station information provided is for guidance only and is provided without warranty of any kind; customers are advised to check the information for accuracy on their own responsibility, as roadsurfer assumes no liability for the accuracy or timeliness of the information.

Parking in central London isn’t always easy with a campervan, and you’ll need to be aware of the Congestion Charge zone, making sure to pay online if you enter it during charge times. The best options are to park and use public transport to access the city centre.

• Drive 30 minutes to Richmond and park in the Old Deer carpark in Richmond (Park Ln, Richmond TW9 2RA). It costs £15.25 per day and is a 3-minute walk from Richmond station.
• You can park for free in Richmond Park, although make sure to check the current closing time to ensure you don’t get stuck. Park in the car park closest to the Roehampton Gate entrance and take bus number 430 from the Danebury Avenue/Minstead Gardens stop to Putney Station for a train into central London.
• Drive 40 minutes to Ealing Common and park for £3 per day on Warwick Road. From here it’s a 10-minute walk to Ealing Broadway station for trains into central London.
• Parking close to the roadsurfer London station is limited, especially for campervans. If you don’t want to drive into London and use one of the above parking options, it may be easier to visit London before you pick up your campervan. Alternatively, drive 10 minutes to the Hounslow West underground station car park and take the train from there.

If you have many things to buy, try The Centre shopping centre in Feltham, a 10-minute drive away which has various supermarkets, a Boots pharmacy, clothing stores and food outlets.
