Hi Ed

We are staying at Walton on Thames in July. It is a C & CClub site and is members only. It also has no toilets etc. but does have hook-ups, hence a charge of only

We sometimes stay at Chertsey C&CC site which has full facilities including ehu. The site is on the banks of the Thames and apart from aircraft on the approach to Heathrow it's quiet.

Weybridge railway station is not far away where you can take a train to Waterloo.

The Lea valley site on Sewardstone road is still there and normally opens around late March. It is a gem of a site , easy access from M25 ,dont have to go through Waltham Abey anymore. has a bus service terminate at the entrance and is quiet and tranquill

CaravanClub site Crystal Palace...there is a bus service right outside that goes into central London, and a few short steps the other way is the Crystal Palace park that would take you a good half day to walk all round and discover.

Depending on where you are coming from. The CC sites at Denham or Hemel Hempstead both meet the bill but need advanced booking. hemel has a direct coach seervice to Victoria. Denham has rail link to marylebone or drive into Ruislip or any west London tube connection.

There is a commercial site at Chalfont St Giles and you can get train into Marylebone from Seer Green or Gerrards Cross.

For museums my choice would be Denham and West Ruislip or Ruislip by Underground.

Not sure but think the current senior citizens concessions should apply - apologies if you don't qualify yet

(Excuse spelling but it's siesta time here in SE Spain)

We're going to a family wedding in Hertfordshire in the summer and have booked onto Theobalds Park at Waltham Cross which is North of London, just off the A10. It's a C&CC site with full facilities and looks quite nice. London is only a short train journey from there (station 2 miles from site) and no congestion charges!

We've used the Denham CC site (Wyatt's Covert) for visiting London.

It's ideally situated within walking distance from the station with a regular service taking about half an hour into the Marylebone.

we will be at Abbey Wood in May for 6 days, hoping to see some of London.

travel tips appreciated, we are both over 60.
