Based on the north bank of the River Thames, Grays offers plenty for visitors that are looking for a quiet getaway, or would like to be slightly out of the London hustle and bustle.

Grays has a similar infrastructure to most of the UK towns, with motorways on the outskirts leading into the town, larger arteries inside the town and many roundabouts. Stay under the blood alcohol limit of 0.08% blood when driving and wear your seat belts at all times. Disorderly conduct such as swearing at fellow drivers might get you fined, as much as sleeping in your car whilst tipsy is also an offence. Keep off your mobile phone and stick to the speed limit and driving in Grays will be a pleasure.

It is always sensible to hire a GPS to get congestion alerts if you are planning on using motorways and main roads, and one can be obtained from your car hire agency. If you don’t know the roundabout system, always remember to yield for traffic already in the circle coming from your right. Bad weather can cause rain and snow which leads to black ice and slippery roads so take heed of the wet London weather.
