“The pick-up was easy, it took 5 minutes from arriving at the desk to driving out the car, and the return took even less time.”

Where to go

In light of Walthamstow’s central London location, exploring the capital is possible almost immediately.

However, considering the city’s reputation for heavy congestion, you may want to save your hire car for venturing outside of London; it is widely accepted that the Underground rail system is the cheapest and most convenient way of getting around London.

From Walthamstow, Westminster, Soho, Kensington and other prestigious London areas are reachable within half an hour’s travel.

Longer drives

Driving further east will eventually bring you to the coast and here, you’ll receive a wholesome taste of the Great British seaside in towns like Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth.
