Hiring a car at London Tower Bridge

You can't get more central London than the world-famous landmark and Grade 1 listed building that is Tower Bridge. This suspension and drawbridge, built in the late 19th century, has long been a symbol of London.

Tower Bridge, as its name suggests, is very close to the Tower of London so while you are in the area go and see Traitors Gate or gaze in awe at the Crown Jewels, or you could visit Borough Market. There is just so much to do, with lots of museums, galleries and attractions such as the London Eye. London, of course, also has world-class restaurants, with cuisines from many different countries, and a variety of bars and cafes.

If you are spending a few days sightseeing in the capital, then hiring a car to get out of London, the Enterprise branch at Tower Bridge will be very convenient and save you lugging bags around on public transport. Once you collect your hire car from Enterprise on Royal Mint Street, you can be on your way. The whole of the South East is on your doorstep and Brighton, on the south coast, is just 2 hours drive away.

The Enterprise branch is only about an 8-minute walk from Tower Hill tube, if you're staying in one of the hotels in that area. Getting out of London can be a bit confusing if you're not used to driving in the city, so it is worth either booking a satnav from Enterprise or bringing your own.

Cheap Car and Van Hire in London Tower Bridge

If you are spending some time in London, then going travelling around the South East, you may want to do a one-way car hire. This will allow you to pick your car up from our Tower Bridge branch, then drop it to the airport or wherever else is convenient, which will save time and money.

Another way to get cheaper car hire is to pre-pay online, this will get you a 10% discount compared to paying on pick up, and you can still cancel up to 3 days before your car hire date free of charge.
