I plan to drag the caravan off to London next thursday for a few nights and would like to stay on the outskirts of London.  I was thinking maybe Slough or surrounding areas, so we can catch the train into London.  We are not in any caravan club and am having difficulties finding a site open into november.  Can anyone help please.

You wont get into either of the CC sites Abbey Wood or Crystal Palace at such short notice ( I know because I just tried it). I must admit I drew a complete blank despite lots of searching over the next two weeks ( I think the christmas lights go on soon). Have ended up going to York instead. I am told the CC site at Abbey Wood is probably the best and most convenient but you typically have to book a good few weeks in advance particularly if your stay involves a Friday or Saturday.

You could try ringing CC in a couple of days to check if they have a cancellation, just might be lucky.

PS noticed a site in Harlow which is on the fast Stanstead line in and seems to be open. You will find it in the campsite search, it seems to have mixed reviews?

If you ring Abbey Wood I bet you'll get in.

35 mins on 'Southeastern' into Charring Cross and only a 10 min. stroll to the station.

Update on my search...

We have booked in to Chertsey.. looks a great site.. also joined up with c&cclub.... made sense in the end... Thanks for all your suggestions!
