We chose this site because of the location fairly near to family and places we wanted to visit. It served a purpose - it was a very basic site. We made a mistake by following sat nav and ended up along a single track road with passing places and potholes. (There are a lot of heavy vehicles working on HS2.) We recommend following the sites instructions or take the sat nav route at your peril! The village of Denham is lovely but probably nearer 2 miles than the said 1.5! Lovely pubs and very picturesque. There is also an hotel nearby which we didn't know about until it was time to leave. For a day out in London we chose to get the bus to Uxbridge which is in zone 6 and from there getting a day unlimited travel ticket. To get back from Uxbridge to the camp site allow at least £10 for a taxi (use Denham taxi rather than the station ones). We thought this was the best way for a day out in London but trains do go from Denham to Marylebone as well.
