Make sure you stop by Woolwich Riverside and Peninsula while you're here. Set aside plenty of time to explore — there's plenty to keep you busy. Travel 1 mile from Charlton and you'll find yourself in Woolwich Riverside. Alternatively, Peninsula is 1 mile away.

Get set for an epic adventure in Charlton. Which car you choose depends on the type of vacation you have in mind. If you're traveling by yourself, why not opt for a compact or a mini? They're economical to run and a breeze to park. If you're traveling with a few friends, reserve an intermediate or a standard car. They offer more legroom and space for everyone's suitcases.
You'll be glad to know that there's a wide variety of both high-end and economy rentals in Charlton. What you end up opting for will depend on how much you're willing to spend and what you plan to do. Prestige vehicles offer the best in comfort and class. If you feel like splashing out, why not go for a high-end SUV, or perhaps a slick medium-sized vehicle? On the other hand, if you're just after something to whiz around town in at the cheapest price possible, maybe go for an economy compact vehicle (or something else that won't burn a hole in your pocket).

Stay on the left-hand side of the road in Charlton. If you plan to rent a set of wheels here, take note that the steering wheel will be on the right. It could take a little getting used to!
If you'd prefer not to cruise around at a snail's pace, try not to drive in Charlton between 7:00 am and 10:00 am. In the afternoon, things get busy in this neighborhood from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm.
It's relatively easy to find a car space in Charlton, although it can be difficult to score a spot in the busiest streets. Staying at a hotel that provides guests with on-site parking is always a good idea.

Normally, your chosen car rental company will charge the fined amount to your credit card. Alternatively, the company may provide your contact details to local authorities so they can issue a fine to you directly.
Seat belts have to be worn in London. That being said, the rule may not apply for certain vehicles, like those used by public transportation networks.
It's against the law to use your cell phone while you're behind the wheel in Charlton, and you may even be issued a fine for simply holding your phone when you're in control of a vehicle. However, using hands-free or Bluetooth functions is permitted, as long as your attention stays on the road.
