My friend and I are from Australia and planning to do a 15 day tour of England, Ireland and Scotland with extended 10 day stay in London to hire a car to travel around England. Can anyone recommend somewhere cheap to stay which is close to London or on the outskirts… either hotel or B&B. This is our first trip and finding it confusing so any ideas would be appreciated and IF anyone can also recommend a car hire company. Both in our 60’s but very active and adventurous
