Thanks David

Try Abbey Wood , you'll find them on the Caravan Club website but you don't have to be a member . We stayed there for a weekend very recently and found it to be a lovely site and if you're planning a trip into the City its only a 10 min walk to the station . If you need any more info give me a shout .

Theobalds Park or Lea Valley campsite, both are lovely and quiet, never camped there, but live close to the Lea Valley site, both in the North East London area, and both handy for the M25

Yes it is!  The surrounding trees do a great job of deflecting most of the noise, just a very quiet background hum that you get in all cities.

Oh deep joy!!! At last someone who spells "Lea" correctly within the context of the River Lea. I've seen it spelled "Lee" by so many ignoramusses.

It's a name that goes back hundreds of years but in the last couple of decades it's been corrupted by newcomers. Even the UCI Complex at Picketts Lock spelled it incorrectly.

As a local boy from nearby Muswell Hill, I'm proud of where I come from and like to see old names preserved and carried forward correctly.

Found this on the net, it is not just the UCI that waries the spelling, to me it has always been Lea.

The River Lea (sometimes called the River Lee, and once the Ley, but that's another story) rises near Luton and runs south, reaching London near [Waltham Abbey]?, then proceeding through northeast and east London (giving Leyton its name on the way) to flow into the River Thames at [Blackwall]?. For much of its metropolitan course, the Lea is accompanied by the Lee Navigation, a canal built alongside the river to assist navigation, thus making the Lea the world's first dual-carriageway river.

The area around the river is called the [Lea Valley]?, although it's not much of a valley.

The Lea is the central character in the first chapter of Iain Sinclair's book [London Orbital]?.

Chertsey by the Thames, near the M3 as well but I don't know how much you can hear the motorway from the two sites.

One is a C&CC site and the other an independant in a place called Laleham. Half an hour from West London by car.

Cant hear M3 from Chertsey but it is under approach path for Heathrow and they sound a lot noiser after 10pm !!! Nice site though.  Easy access to Waterloo from Weybridge station about 15 minutes away.

sorry but the words

peace, quiet, away from traffic noise, near or in London,

really can't be put in the same sentence.

It is a highly overpopulated and busy area.   I think its asking too much to find a camp site where there won't be any traffic or aircraft noise.

Its either traffic or aircraft.   Heathrow from one direction either taking off or landing or London Docklands Airport.    If not the traffic most deffo as the whole of London is surrounded by a ruddy great track, its called the M25!

Theobalds CCC is next to the M25, so whilst the general feel of the site is peaceful you can't guarantee that it will be quiet! Maybe, depending on traffic levels and which way the wind is blowing.

And I'm with Vic on the Lea - was always been spelt that way in my lifetime until the blooming Lee Valley Park was set up and decided to revert to a form used intermittently in the past. Far as I'm concerned it's still the Lea!
