Driving in the UK

If you're picking up a rental car at Heathrow and haven't driven in this country before, it’s important to note that in the UK we drive on the left-hand side of the road. Throughout the UK, the following speed limits apply for cars, unless there are signs showing otherwise:

  • 30mph (48km/h) in built-up areas
  • 60mph (96km/h) on single carriageways
  • 70mph (112km/h) on dual carriageways and motorways

Heathrow is situated near the M25 – a major road encircling most of Greater London. From the M25 you can easily access all areas of the UK.
