London Driving Information


 
Driving is on the left side of the road.


 
London Southend Airport rental cars may be either automatic OR manual transmission. Make sure to verify when booking if you are not comfortable with a manual transmission.


 
Your local drivers' licence is required.


An International Drivers' Permit (or IDP) may be required, especially if your local drivers' licence is in a language other than the local language (you may inquire when you pick up your car).


 
London Driving Stress Level: 7/10

With a rail connection that will take you into the city centre in less than an hour, the high costs associated with driving in London, the sheer volume of cars and the complexity of London's streets, we do NOT recommend renting a car if the City of London is your final destination.


Rent a car only if your destination is outside of the City of London. Even then, rail travel may be the preferred method.


Returning to the airport:


London Southend Airport is connected to the M25 by the A127 and A13 dual carriageway trunk roads
