+44 203 621 9930If moving to the UK, you will find an extensive but not always well-maintained road network. You will have easy access to even the more remote areas by car. However, cities are congested, and, in some cases, additional tolls apply. Also, driving in the UK means driving on the left-hand side of the road.
As an alternative, there is a comprehensive public transport system that operates both cross-country and within cities. The underground train system operates within main cities, but buses and overground trains complement the services on offer. For longer journeys between cities, there are coaches and trains. Public transport in the UK is practical, but it can be crowded, particularly at peak times. Trains are expensive compared to other European countries.
“Park and ride” is a popular concept in the UK. It is a good solution if you’re travelling some distance but want to avoid driving through the city centre. “Park and ride” provides a drop-off point to park your car and public transport into the centre of the city.
You will find information about driving in the UK in the guides provided by the AA (select Great Britain) and the European Commission.
