We required a site at short notice handy for Central London on a Sunday. The Abbey Wood and Crystal Palace sites were full and so after looking at the train timetable from Welwyn Garden City we booked a pitch for two nights at Commons Wood. It worked really well for us. We got to Leicester Square well within one hour. Taxi to the Station £3.50. Off peak Travel Card £13.60 including underground zones 1 to 6. Got stung coming back - taxi from the rank outside station to the site - £9.45. Bus/private hire would have been a much cheaper option. Oh well... The local bus service is very regular to/from the town centre to the nearby hospital. The facilities at Commons Wood were good and clean but the showers could do with an upgrade. The shower heads only point straight down, lack flow and are not as hot as most other Caravan Club sites even first thing on a morning. Unfortunately, the relief wardens on duty did not know the area so getting local information very much relied on our own research. Did not bother with the WiFi due to poor signal.
