Gatwick airport is located around 30 miles south of London. In your Avis hire car it’ll take you just over an hour to get into the capital dependent on traffic, add another 30 minutes if you’re aiming for central London.London has an incredible history stretching back over 2000 years. The story of the city's expansion can be seen in its architecture, from celebrated old buildings such as Big Ben and St Paul's to modern marvels, such as The Shard and Canary Wharf.
There is so much to see and do in London. We’d particularly recommend spending some time in Greenwich, a delightful suburb in the south of London boasting the Cutty Sark, Greenwich University, the Maritime Museum and a fantastic bohemian market.
If you’re looking to explore London by night, head to Soho where you’ll find great bars and clubs, and London’s bustling theatre district.
Looking for something family friendly? London has a huge variety of museums and galleries, and most have permanent collections that are free to enter. The Natural History museum is great for kids and offers an unrivalled prehistoric dinosaur exhibit, while the British Museum hosts ancient treasures from around the world, as well as the stunning Great Court, the new modern wing of this famed institution.
Londoners will tell you their city is the greatest city in the world and it’s hard to argue with them.
