I've done quite a bit of travelling around (the island of) Great Britain, mostly by bicycle, before I got my big heavy 1Ds Mk III + L lenses kit. Back then, I did find my 70-210mm telephoto zoom quite useful in Scotland, but I'm not sure how much of that was due to the peculiar restrictions of cycle touring. On the one hand, you can pull over anywhere; on the other hand, you can't position yourself quickly. The light was very changeable, with some fleeting moments, so I was glad I was using zooms.
Since you're from BC I assume you've already hiked with your 1-series body and two lenses so you know what you're getting yourself into. Mostly in the UK (especially in England) people walk between paid accommodation rather than pitching their own hiking tents, and if you'll be doing that that represents a weight saving.
You say you'll be "driving between locations", but I strongly recommend you use public transport to get around central London. You will therefore need to consider carrying this gear around London. Bearing in mind you need to take your backpack off on the tube, you should keep the weight and bulk down. Perhaps you can leave the lenses you're not using behind for the day and "do" London with a cut-down kit. Think this through before you leave, including buying and trying out a suitable smaller bag.
Some suggested kits:
1. 24-70mm f/2.8 II. If I took this, I'd take nothing else, due to its weight.
2. 16-35mm f/4 IS + 100mm f/2.8 macro. Has the advantage that the lens not being used can be stashed away or even depoted, more convenient around London. Could be a liability in Scotland due to the need for lens changes and, if the macro is not the L version, lack of weather sealing.
My personal choice would be (2), but, as has been said, it boils down to what focal lengths you prefer.
