Will you be spending time in London before or after your other travels? We have driven out of Gatwick which is simple. Driving out of Heathrow wasn't too bad either. We drove out of central London on a Sunday morning and survived with only one wrong turn. It was so easy we did it again another time and made the same wrong turn! I recognized it just a moment too late.

Sorry, we only did B&Bs so we have no hotel suggestions.

Take care, Janet
