We have been to Abbey Wood once before, but it is obvious that, for visits to the capital or south-east of the capital, it is by far the best place to stay in the entire London area. The facilities are perfect, the shower block was immaculately clean, and the general air of a rural backwater makes it feel miles from the dirt of the city. Even in January, when the wind and rain made a lot of noise at night, the site looks attractive and special. The only gripes we had were the buses, which were fine going to a location (we visited the O2 Arena), but coming back it was a nightmare; buses too full to stop, and hopelessly infrequent. I suggest you use the excellent train service and tube or DLR for your trips into London, which are frequent and usually quite reliable. We will definitely come again.
