Campervan Day Trips and Road Trips from London

Quick summary: A campervan opens up England beyond London. West of the city, Windsor is a short hop, Oxford is just over an hour from central London, and the Cotswolds, Stratford-upon-Avon, Bath and Stonehenge make a classic loop of several days. To the south and east, Brighton, Leeds Castle and the white cliffs of Dover suit a coastal trip. Book campsites ahead, as overnight parking rules outside campsites are strict in many areas.
