We are in the 'fortunate' position of being of an age where we have the benefit of free bus travel. There last week and the weather was pretty good. Sited at the base of the BBC transmitter mast and could get all channels apart from BBC! Used the car for trips to the National Archives,Windsor Castle and Runneymede. Then buses daily for trips to City Centre, Science Museum, Kew Steam Museum, London Transport Museum and Cutty Sark, Greenwich. You can make 12mph in the car (but where to park?) or 8mph on the bus and see the sights from the upper deck. Useful apps for your iPad or Android have bus routes, street maps and Tube services. Crystal Palace is a great caravan club site with helpful wardens. That's worrying news about redevelopment.(Bristol, Baltic Wharf too apparently). DaveK. Wirral.
