Hi All,

I am based in Devon and my boy is doing "fire of London" this term at school he is wanting to see London this year so we are contemplating taking the van up to one of the 3 potential London sites so we can take day trips into London to visit the sites. We are newbies to vans, but I am doing the course in March and am taking several trips between now and August locally.

The sites I've been looking at are Crystal Palace, Abbey Wood and Wyatts Covert and was wondering if people have any experience or recommendations on these 3. How easy is it to get into central London, etc.?

There is 4 of us (2 kids - 1 will be nearly7 in August and a 4 year old). No dog, but will have an awning.

Many thanks for any suggestions or thoughts.

Phil.

Just thought I would add, as someone who lives in London (about 5 miles for Crystal Palace) that towing or driving on the main routes is not a problem, if Artics, Buses & Coaches use the roads every day then wheres the problem.  

I personally find trying to get to somewhere like Henley Four Oaks more of a challenge when you have no choice but to use the tiny roads these types of destination have as through routes. Only thing to remember, like any major town is choose the time you pass through carefullycool

I have zero desire to enter London. I have, in the past, used Abbey Wood to give access to London to take my youngest in to London and it was a good access point

You and me both. Last time we went to London we used Commons Wood, which is even further out, but does have a good train service at a price.
