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.

Tolls, emissions zones and charges

Central London has tolls and emissions charges.

The Congestion Charge and ULEZ (Ultra Low Emission Zone) apply in central London. Not all rental cars are exempt, so always check. Most fees can be paid online or in the TFL app. Some routes include toll roads.

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.

Local driving style and tips

Traffic moves fast and cameras are everywhere.
