Things to See and Do

The British Capital is a great city to entertain your family or friends. Once off your flight and in your rented MPV, you can travel to your hotel, bed & breakfast or other place to stay. London is home to an array of tourist sites, including historical attractions, theatres, restaurants, bars, museums, and world famous places such as Trafalgar Square, the Houses of Parliament, the Tower of London, and London Bridge.

Driving around in this city can be on the hectic side. You could leave your vehicle at your hotel and travel on the Underground or simply walk around. If exploring the countryside your rented MPV would come in very useful! Be sure of all the British Driving Laws though as there are many speed cameras, parking fees and traffic laws to adhere to.
