London Camp sites? Forums

We are about to book up for a trip to London but were wondering what is the best site to use to get in to the city centre and attraction's.

We are currently looking at Abbey Wood and Crystal Palace CC sites.

Any advise would be welcomed.

If you can't get in to them we stayed at Chertsey over NY - lovely site have to travel every day to Weybridge to get a train in but its free parking at the weekend and £3.50ish a day otherwise. Takes half hour into London Waterloo and for a family of four it was £21 for the day unlimited usage for a train/tube ticket. We had lovely time and would go again if going to London - really easy to find and site had foxes running through it and was very quiet.

We enjoyed 2 nights at Crystal Palace recently. Barbara sat reading her book, knitting and watched the wildlife while I paid £8 for a one day travel ticket (peak rates). Bus to station, train to Victoria, etc. Bus back up hill on way "home".

Lovely facilities, really good hot showers, good sites for MH overlooking park. Grey water dump is drive over then remove lid - not too difficult. Roadweays a little difficult if you're first time of arrival is at night

Take care on the double roundabout if you've got a big one (25' max I think)

Hi We have stopped at lee valley site twice, nice site, clean facilities and by a ticket from reception about £5 to £6 per person walk quarter mile to bus stop catch bus to Edmonton Green and then train into Liverpool street Station in london in about 40 mins. then use same ticket to travel on tubes or buses anywhere you want to go. The ticket bought from reception covers all Busses Trains and Tube

I use it frequently when working at 3 mills, useful as you get a get in swipe card and you can get oout anytime as the barrier is automatic

Abbey Wood and Crystal Palace are now in the LEZ. We have stayed at Chertsey,fantastic Indian by the station. Also we have used Walton on Thames also very good.

Richard,

You state, quite rightly, that you will be okay with the LEZ. We are going to the Crystal Palace CC site for 2 nights in a few weeks. I will report back and let you know what it is like and how easy it is to commute to the City. I believe the No.3 bus stops outside and then goes all the way to Oxford circus.

I have added the details of the bus route.
