Streatham is a London suburb handily set on the road to southern England’s glorious countryside and coast. On a sunny day here, you may want to stretch out on Streatham Common or try the many bars and restaurants. But rent a car in Streatham and you’ll likely be tempted to head down to the seaside.
While Brighton is an obvious choice – you’ll find it at the end of the A23 after a short stint on the M23 – there are many more other beaches to explore when you have the flexibility of a hire car. Camber Sands’ endless rolling dunes, further east along the coast, is one to try.
You can pick up a rental on the high street in Streatham, but it’s best to start by comparing deals online to find the cheapest. Journeying from Streatham means you’ll set off outside London’s Congestion Charge too, which is another win for your wallet.
