What to expect on Road to London?

Food

We believe that cooking and eating in a foreign country is the surest and truest way to experience a country. That's why we make the best possible arrangements for you to sample the best of local delicacies and regional dishes that will leave your taste buds forever in debt! Also, we carry an emergency stash of packing Indian food for the days when you miss and crave our good old Indian food. Please also consider that there will be some days when the food options will be limited and you may not get the best choices of food items that you are used to, those are the days when your understanding would be highly appreciated.

Border Crossings

Road to London is a cross border expedition, which means that you will be crossing through multiple borders during the journey. Passing through land borders is a completely different experience compared to airports. Border crossings can be unpredictable and extremely slow. Although we make all the necessary arrangements beforehand to make the border-crossing process smooth and quick, you may still have to wait for many hours at certain borders. Patience will be a massive virtue at the borders!

Accommodations

At the end of a long-distance driving day, we understand the sheer importance of a warm and comfortable stay for you to kick your legs up and relax. That's why we have carefully picked the best hotels and resorts throughout the journey.

Long-driving Days and Early Starts

No distance feels long in good company. Every single driving day has been planned after carefully analysing and researching on the road conditions and facilities en route. There will be days when you will have to wake up very early and drive all day long before reaching the destination. On some days, even though the distance may not look too long but you will have to make an early start as we may have many sightseeing activities planned during the day. Trust us, once you reach London, you won't even remember the time when you had to leave your cosy bed a little early, but you will undoubtedly cherish the tiring days on the road.

Planned Sightseeing

It is always the unplanned things that you remember rather than the planned ones! Despite the best of planning and efforts, there's still the possibility of a few hiccups along the way - breakdowns, bad weather, border issues etc. don't come announced and these can cause delays which may force us to skip some planned activities.

Rest Days

The motto for rest days is "Your Day, Your Way". We may have planned some sightseeing or walking tours but you can enjoy complete freedom to plan your day as per your interest. So, go ahead and catch up on sleep or shop to your heart's desire or just tick off all the local sights... the choice is yours. If you need any help to plan your day, feel free to knock on the door of your tour coordinator's room for assistance.

Route Planning

It is fascinating to be out on the road and even more exciting to take pit-stops and detours! But the route for Road to London has been carefully planned by professionals to ensure that you have the best experience, without compromising on your safety and comfort. Our task is to make you reach London by road...safely and on time! We have to obtain special overland driving permits, and permissions from government bodies in many countries and some countries don't permit us to divert from the designated route. All cars will have to continue driving on the predetermined route throughout the journey.
