Driving in London: What to expect on the road
Documents you'll need You’ll need a valid licence and possibly an IDP. To drive in London, you’ll need a driving licence held for at least a year. If it’s not in English, an International Driving Permit (IDP) may be required. Most car hire companies also ask for a passport and credit card. |
Navigating city driving Expect one-way streets and left-hand driving. Driving in London means handling narrow roads, bus lanes, and one-way systems. Use navigation apps like Google Maps or Waze to avoid restricted zones and live traffic hotspots. |

Parking your car in London Parking is limited and often expensive. Many parking areas in London are residents-only or require pay-by-app. Look for multi-storey car parks, park-and-ride options, or hotels with parking. Avoid red routes, bus lanes, and loading zones to dodge fines. |
Finding fuel or charging points Fuel is available — EV charging needs planning. Petrol stations in London are common but pricier in central zones. For electric vehicles, use Zap-Map or PlugShare to find EV charging stations in London. Some require local apps or cards — check access before your trip.
