Haven't camped in London myself but check the link below for campsites in and around London. Not sure what type of site you're looking for but the reviews should be able to help you choose and they detail how to get into London and how long the journey will take.

London campsites..

Enjoy your trip!

abbey wood caravan club site. Excellent site and take tents. Close to tube station ad shops yet has a countryside feel. Would not hesitate to use again

For a licence dated 1997 or later you must add together the plated max weight of the caravan and trailer, if the total is 3500 or less you can tow it. You may even tow a caravan with a MAM greater than the cars unladen mass the restriction was removed in 2013

I've looked into Lees Valley for myself. We'd be coming from the North, so it's location is convenient. Apparently, transport into the city is under an hour.

Both of the Lee Valley sites heve excellent public transport links to Central London / West End.

Best fares are with an
Oyster Card

Hope this helps

What is the difference between the two sites for someone with a tent? I really can't tell which one I oughta try.

As above we have done Lee Valley Chingford, a lovely site, a bit of countryside near the city! Also its 5 mins of the M25, the bus turnaround is at the camp entrance, tickets are available at the shop, times are as above.

A lot of campers at Chertsey last year were using the site as a base for London - really nice peaceful site on the banks of the Thames with a couple of nice foodie pubs a short walk away.
