A great site but expensive for Motorhomes

This is a great site in many, many respects - most of which are contained in the other reviews - including proximity to Abbey Wood train station which gives easy transport to central London. There is also an excellent and very nearby bus service into other places including Greenwich. There is a super café in the village just before the train station which specialises in cooked breakfast food - all day. There are lots of other good local shops between the café and the station catering for most needs. The site was very tidy and the showers/toilets were very good indeed. A lovely wooded setting with large pitches so there is plenty of space between all units. Whilst the pitch charges are fine - BE WARNED OF THE EMISSION CHARGES which no one has mentioned as far as I can see. Namely for a 3.5 kg motor home there is a £100 emission charge for EACH day of driving in the Zone which is where this site is situated. That means paying £100 to get into the site and another £100 to get out on a different day ! Actually in my case the matter was even worse as our motor home is 4 kgs and for which the charge was £200 for the day of arrival and another £200 for the day of departure. IN ADDITION there is the small matter of having to pay a £14 CONGESTION CHARGE fore each of the two days which made a grand EXTRA total of £428 on top of the site charges. We are convinced that there are many visitors who are blissfully unaware of these charges until they receive penalty notices which are crippling - take a look at this: https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/driving/low-emission-zone/penalty-charges Otherwise we had a great stay !

Response from the Club:

Hi there, thanks so much for taking the time to leave your review, it sounds like you had a great time on site. You're right, the site is within the London Low Emission Zone, so we advise anyone travelling to the site to visit http://www.tfl.gov.uk/lezlondon for more information. We hope to see you on site again soon.

Perfect

We used this site as a base for the London Marathon, it was an excellent site, clean facilities, friendly staff and the location was brilliant, just a 10 minute walk to the railway station with trains stopping at the Marathon start (Maze Hill), or into central London for spectators. Would definitely recommend and will be using again next year.

Visit 31/3 to 19/4

Everything excellent as always. Only one blemish-the wifi signal is appaling.I have complained formally to Airangel because we paid for a year's service. Recommendation: charge more and tell them to get it right - this was a problem for us.

Tall Ships at Greenwich

The location could not be better for access to Greenwich, and indeed the rest of London. Every form of transport was nearby. Spacious pitches.Our only complaint was the standard of wifi. Having paid for a full year's access we found that we had slow access for only two days and virtually none for the remainder. We would like to particularly mention the warmth and friendliness of the many staff we met around the site. They really made us feel welcome. We would certainly return.

Excellent for access to London

Really nice club site and so handy for the train to Victoria. Wardens are super friendly and keep the place spotless. Will certainly use the site again when we next travel to London.

Great location for visiting London

This was a site recommended to us by a number of friends. We were not disappointed. The location close to Abbey Wood station is great being a 10 min walk down the hill. Transfer into Cannon Street in half an hour or so. One warning is that Crossrail development can impact weekend train travel. Rail replacement buses are in operation. Enough to send a chill down your spine. It added 15-30 mins onto the journey. The site is pleasant, quiet and clean. The kids enjoyed scooting around. No late night noise to be worried about. Recimmended.

Annual Easter Holiday

Wonderful way to see London. Spotlessly clean. Friendly Wardens. Great location 5 mins walk to station ( use a family and friends railcard to cut costs of rail tickets). 35 mins into Cannon street, 15 mins into Greenwich. Children love the site and it has become an annual event

Ideal location for visiting London

Visited for a week from 2nd April and found the location of the Abbey Wood Station was only a short walk away from the site with the ability to travel into central London quick and easy using Oyster cards. Also visited Greenwich and Hampton Court by train and this was quicker than trying to drive to these locations. Will certainly use the site again when we next travel to London.

Visiting the Capital

We stayed at Abbey Wood for eight nights from 1st April and the weather was great. The site is very quiet and looked lovely in the early Spring sunshine. It was an easy ten minute walk to the railway station but I am sure the uphill got steeper every night we returned from sight seeing in London. The local cafe was good and the Chinese takeaway was great. We used a rail pass which saved us lots of dosh by giving 2 for 1 deals on the places we visited in London. Just one incident was pf concern as one fellow caravanner had his pedal bike stolen from outside his caravan about 5.30 in the evening so bikers be aware of securing your pedal bikes. The Wardens were very friendly and helpful. Only one shower block being open meant there were queues for showers etc., which was frustrating when other shower blocks could have been opened to us. Our seven year old granddaughter enjoyed the playground and the large expanses of grass to play on. Overall very happy and would visit again if we return to London.
