London Driving Information

  • National and international flights land at London's Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton and Stansted Airports. They are all located between 20 and 40 miles out of town and have fast motorway links into the city. We has branches at each of these airports, so you'll be able to pick up your rental car wherever you land.
  • London has its own traffic restrictions, one-way systems and roadworks, navigating these can be made easier with a sat nav that guides you on less congested routes. Transport for London have live status updates so you can always keep up to date and plan your drive accordingly. Don't risk a street parking fine in London but choose from multistorey and underground parking available across the city and its districts.
  • Please be aware that London operates both a congestion charge and a low emission zone within the centre. If you plan to drive in London's congestion zone you must register within 24 hours at an appropriate pay. The congestion charge will not be covered by SIXT - but our friendly staff in branch can let you know how to pay and provide you with further information.
  • Always be extra cautious when driving and parking in London, as there are many pedestrians, buses and cyclists which you can come across unexpectedly. The city itself covers a huge area and is bordered in many places by the M25 motorway which grants you easy access to the rest of the UK.

Sixt Sightseeing Tips

London is a truly remarkable city, with many of the capital's most popular landmarks scattered throughout the central districts. Westminster Abbey, Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament and Buckingham Palace are a few of the popular sights found in the area known as Westminster. The neighboring City of London is another popular area, home to landmarks such as St. Paul's Cathedral and the Gherkin skyscraper.

In addition to its many historical landmarks, London is also one known for its many natural spaces. Hyde Park is easily the most famous public park in London. This massive park is comprised of some 350 acres. The park is separated by a lake known as the Serpentine, which was created in 1730. In addition to Hyde Park, other well-known natural areas include Hampstead Heath and Kensington Gardens.

If you are looking for a more lively side of life in the capital, you may wish to consider a visit to areas such as Camden or Soho. Camden Market is found within the borough of Camden, along with the London Zoo and Camden Arts Centre. Soho, on the other hand, is a popular destination for entertainment venues and nightclubs. Exploring the rich diversity of the many boroughs throughout the city is one of the most popular activities for those who venture to London.

What to Do in London in Winter 2024

The winter weather in London can be rainy and gray, but there are so many things to see and do you may not even notice. Temperatures generally hover in the 40s, although can drop at night. Be sure to book tickets in advance if this is on your to-do list. There are also many museums to see, and 23 have free admission including the Tate Modern, National Gallery, and Museum of London. Trafalgar Square always has a nice Christmas Tree and after viewing that you can head to one of the many Christmas markets like Winterville in Victoria Park or the Southbank Centre Wintertime Festival. Or you can just go to a pub and have a pint and some hearty food. The roads in London should be fine in winter, so rent a luxury sedan to see the city in style.

Having never rented a vehicle in my 55yrs I was very nervous And apprehensive to say the least. Having arrived on the day I was greeted by Andrew who must be said made me so relaxed and made the whole experience fun and quick. As we chatted and had a laugh he was professional and curtious the whole time. As I was moving after 22yrs I am so grateful he allowed the extra time as I would never have moved in the original time slot I had booked the van for. The guys in the yard were funny and also a joy to chat with so THANK YOU ANDREW and the team for a great experience which I will make sure to always use you folks and will recommend you to all those I know. Great bunch of folks to hire from to anyone who reads this. UPDATE TO FOLLOW THIS AS LOOKS LIKE SIXT WILL TRY DIRTY TRICKS AND BE DISHONEST AFTERWARDS

Andrew made the picking up process easy! He explained everything and was personable & professional. Past experience wasn't as good - Will definitely pick up from these guys in Battersea in the future.
