Great base for visit to London

We stayed here and used it as a base to travel into central London.  It was easy to travel in to visit the sites and attractions.  The campsite is a 5 min walk to the station.  (A previous reviewer mentioned that there is a hill, but it really is much more of a very gentle slope.). Rail travel was easy, with trains to Cannon Street every 20 min.  We purchased Oyster cards which allowed for unlimited travel around London for under £10 a day.   The campsite itself was peaceful and we were surprised to hear (and indeed see) a woodpecker making its new home in one of the trees.  There is a little road noise and there are a few overhead planes, but it is far from being a noisy location, and nothing you wouldn't expect from an urban area. There was plenty of hot water in the showers.  The blocks themselves were clean, but the showers themselves weren't quite up to the excellent standards we have seen in other Club sites (shower heads a bit dirty and leaky fittings).  This was the only negative in an otherwise great site.   We will certainly use the site again as a base for London visits.

excellent campsite perfect for London!

You will not be disappointed with this campsite!  Its in a perfect location to get into London! Its literally a 5 min walk to station with trains very frequently! And late night trains back! The facilities are spot on, previous reviews are all correct and everything is excellent! The members of staff were very nice and accommodating! The toddler room looked excellent and spot less! Will definitely be returning! It doesn't feel like you are in London,  very nice setting!

As always Excellent

We have returned to this site several times over the years. It is always very clean and tidy. The facilities block is nice and warm even in the coldest of weather. It is in a really good location for getting into London and the surrounding areas either by train or by bus. We used our bus passes and had free travel, takes a bit longer than the train but we weren't in a hurry. Will be back.

Perfect stop for our London vacation.

The Abbey Wood site is an excellent place to pitch to put London in easy reach. We had a number days out in the city, Greenwich and Dartford - which were all within easy reach via the frequent train service. Bit of a hill from the train station up to the camp site, if that matters to you. The site is very secure and quiet. The wardens friendly. Lots of quite tame squirrels. We had a decent quality meal at the local curry house (The Taj Mahal). We will be back.

Jan 15 stay

we visited this site for 2 nights in late January, it was very clean and well kept, the facilities were warm and welcoming and the staff were helpful we travelled into London by train each day, it was slightly further into London than I thought but we had no problems and the trains were regular even into the late evenings on the weekend

Fantastic first impression of the club

First time staying at a Caravan Club Site and chose this site because of closeness to railway station. Site staff friendly and welcoming, even at 7.45 p.m. on a windy, wet Friday evening. Toilet block clean and presentable and very well heated (cosy even in January). Site appeared well maintained and the location of it so close to train station was brilliant. Will stay here again when next in London. Watch out for the foxes, cats and parakeets (yes, parakeets, google parakeets of Abbey Wood if you don't believe me!) Marked down on peace and quiet solely because of some car alarms, sirens and aircraft noise - although entirely as expected for its location. Just don't compare that with a countryside site.

Lovely spot for London

This site is a little oasis in Abbey Wood, London, ideal location for train right into the centre of town (about 40 minutes); very green and pleasant site with clean facilities. Helpful, friendly staff.

The only place to stay in London

We have been to Abbey Wood once before, but it is obvious that, for visits to the capital or south-east of the capital, it is by far the best place to stay in the entire London area. The facilities are perfect, the shower block was immaculately clean, and the general air of a rural backwater makes it feel miles from the dirt of the city. Even in January, when the wind and rain made a lot of noise at night, the site looks attractive and special. The only gripes we had were the buses, which were fine going to a location (we visited the O2 Arena), but coming back it was a nightmare; buses too full to stop, and hopelessly infrequent. I suggest you use the excellent train service and tube or DLR for your trips into London, which are frequent and usually quite reliable. We will definitely come again.
