First time UK and Europe - car/motorhome/train ?

Well the SQ J award tickets are booked, we fly into LHR on May 13, want to spend maybe a week in London, then tour the UK - north to Scotland and south to Wiltshire to do some family history stuff.

We then want to take a ferry across the channel, and explore France, Belgium, Holland, northern Italy and back to Zurich for our departing flight to SIN on June 20.

We did a motorhome holiday in NZ and loved it.

So far discovered that car rental will give us one way rentals, but motor homes do not cost much more per day. However in the UK and also France one way rentals are not cost effective, so UK pick up in Toddington near Luton, and in a Parisian suburb.

So what do the experts say, car for ease of parking etc and no back tracking, or motorhome with back track and some connecting train travel.

Open to suggestions

Thanks in advance
