Yes, visitors and tourists holding a valid, full United States driving license are legally permitted to drive a car or manual-transmission vehicle in Great Britain for up to 12 months from their most recent date of entry into the country. You do not strictly need an International Driving Permit if your U.S. license is printed in English, though carrying one can be helpful. However, if you move to the UK permanently or become a resident, you must exchange your U.S. license for a British driving license within 12 months.
