This was our first visit to this site, and it most certainly will not be our last. Very friendly and helpful wardens, but I will expand on that later. On arrival we were greeted to the sound of parakeets and the sight of Jays, the site really does have a rural feel to it. Literally within minutes of setting up we were on the train to visit Greenwich for the afternoon, the walk to and from the Abbey Wood station was between 5 and 10 minutes. This is a great service, but not as frequent as the new Elizabeth line, which we used the following day to have a full day of sightseeing, and an evening of Upstart Crow at The Apollo. The journey back to site after the show couldn't have been easier, a short walk to the Tottenham Court Road station, a 24-minute train journey and we were back at Abbey Wood. Day three was very similar to the previous day, which concluded with a gig at The Palladium. Always check the last train at night, on both our evenings it was 23:03pm, but would imagine as the new service develops this may change.
We had a special request, which we raised with the wardens before we arrived and also during check in. They couldn't have been more helpful, offering a couple of solutions, both of which were fine by us. As it happens, this request caused a problem, through no fault of the site or the wardens (or us!), but our request was met, which was of great relief to us. So a big thank you to all the wardens, and Richard in particular, and an apology to those who may have been inconvenienced.
