And, if you want to drive further afield in your SIXT car, head out south to Brighton, where you can enjoy a day on the beach at this classic seaside town.

Five Places To See a Show in London

London is the world’s theatre capital. Whether you want to catch a blockbuster musical or an indie play by an upcoming writer, there’s a show for you.

To put yourself in the same room as some of the finest actors in the UK, book a seat at The Old Vic, near Waterloo Station. Shows range from classics like A Christmas Carol to premieres of new plays.

For dance, the place to go is Sadler’s Wells in Angel. The program focuses on original performances – both local and international.

If you’re visiting during the warmer months, be sure to get a ticket to the Globe. It’s a replica of the theatre where Shakespeare’s plays were first performed.

Another gorgeous outdoor spot is Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre, which hosts theatre, as well as live music, comedy and film. Get there early to explore the park’s 140 hectares of gardens, lakes and maybe even the London Zoo.

Finally, no visit to London is complete without a musical on the West End. Of the many theatres to choose from, the Apollo – opened in 1901 – is one of the most beautiful.

Where To See the UK’s Most Incredible Natural Wonders

Your London Heathrow car rental is your key to some extraordinary natural sights. If you’re a nature lover, then add these wonders to your itinerary.

If you’re heading north, make your first stop Dockey Wood, northwest of London. For a brief period in springtime, its floor transforms into a shimmering carpet of bluebells.

Keep going to reach Sherwood Forest (near Sheffield) to see the biggest oak tree in the United Kingdom. It’s around 1,000 years old, and, according to myth, was one of Robin Hood’s favourite spots to sleep.

Then, in the heart of the Durham Dales, is High Force Waterfall. Here, the River Trees plunges 21 metres into a 300-million-year-old gorge, surrounded by magical forest.

If, instead, you’re taking your London Heathrow car hire to the southwest, spend a few days among the Isles of Scilly. This archipelago of more than 140 islands off the Cornwall coast is a refuge of white sandy beaches, clear blue waters and unspoiled landscapes.

On the way back, cruise along the World Heritage-listed Jurassic Coast, a 150-kilometre-long stretch of extraordinary rock formations and fossils, between Devon and Dorset.

Ideas For Road Tripping From London to Europe

With your London Heathrow car rental at your fingertips, all of Europe is at your feet – without the hassle of booking flights and waiting around for hours in airports.

The first step is getting from London Heathrow to the continent. If France is on your itinerary, the quickest option is probably via the Eurotunnel. The trip from London to Paris takes around six hours (assuming you don’t hit any major delays). If you’re taking your London Heathrow car rental somewhere else, then you’ll have to catch a ferry. They travel from various spots in the UK to various European countries, including Spain, France and Denmark.

Once you’re in Europe, it’s a matter of deciding where to go. You’ll be spoilt for choice. For incredible views – from the Alps to the Amalfi Coast – head through France, Switzerland and Italy. For fairy tale landscapes, quaint villages and musical history, plan a route through Germany and Austria. And, for spectacular wilderness and world-famous architecture, make tracks for Norway and Sweden.

**Review for Sixt Car Hire, Terminal 4 Heathrow** I recently had the pleasure of hiring a car from Sixt at Terminal 4, Heathrow, and I must say, the service was exceptional from start to finish. My situation was unique: I had just returned from a long holiday to find my car's battery flat after being parked for over a month. In this stressful moment, I decided to hire a car, and Sixt turned out to be a lifesaver. I was assisted by Manpreet, who exemplified professionalism and empathy. Due to an autocorrect error, I mistakenly booked the car in my brother's name while all the other details were mine. This could have been a major issue, but Manpreet recognized the genuine mistake and went out of her way to help. She sought multiple authorizations and ensured I could hire the car without any inconvenience. Manpreet went above and beyond. She even upgraded me to a larger car for free after learning about the challenges I was facing. Furthermore, she arranged for Archie from the car collection point near the Milton Hotel to personally deliver the car to me, sparing me the trouble of walking to the Sixt pickup location. This level of customer care was beyond what I’ve experienced with other car hire companies. At the end of my hire, I was greeted by Ali, who handled the car return process seamlessly. He stepped out of his office to personally ask how the car was, made the check-out process effortless, and promptly sent all the necessary documents via email. I’ve rented cars from many companies, including Europcar and Hertz, but this was my first time with Sixt. The service exceeded all my expectations, and I would highly recommend them to anyone. Their team genuinely goes the extra mile to make customers’ lives easier. If you're landing at Heathrow and need a car, do yourself a favor and choose Sixt at Terminal 4. You won’t be disappointed. To Sixt: Please extend my heartfelt gratitude to Manpreet, Archie, and Ali for their outstanding dedication and support. They made a stressful situation far easier for me, and I truly appreciate their efforts.

I generally only ever use Sixt. Cost is higher than some but they have a high level of customer service, excellent fleet and no dodgy car salesman approach. I know what I am getting with Sixt and I happily pay a little bit more for peace of mind and great customer service.

Great service and pick up location, loved that the rental counter was right at the arrival area and was greeted warmly and served professionally by Sonia at the check in counter. The car location is at the adjacent multistory carpark and return was pretty hassle free as well at the same location. It would be good if there are more signs at the airport on how to get to the sixt return area. We arrived around 6am to return and was able to drop our keys in the drop off box which was great - received an email shortly after that return was complete! We also ordered an infant seat which we were told to pick up from a staff at the carpark. The seats were cleaned and wrapped in plastic cover but it would be so much better if the staff could help with the installation of the infant seats / if the seats are already installed upon your arrival.. after all the reservation was made months in advance. Aside from that, everything was great - and car was in good condition!
