is that you in reply to my comment above?

We thought similar about van life in London, however after having to stay for work we found it super easy! North London (Theobalds Park Camping and Caravanning club) was great and a 20min walk to overground. We also found that Watford was a great area for wild camping with a friendly community, lots of park ups and on the tube line! Currently I'm working in Windsor and have found this area to be the best for wild camping with links still to london. Windsor has a designated campervan park up thats free overnight (with water tap 😉) and right in the town centre - I highly recommend 👌

Woolwich Ferry is free, its the best way to cross the river there. You would have driven right by my house, you should have popped in for a cup of tea. I have a flock of parakeets that visit my South London garden regularly.

One of my best teenage memories was an epic house party at his, many things I can’t mention in public! But everyone forming a line from the freezer to the oven and passing down all the food his parents left him for the week to cook was a funny sight 😂

The 90s was my favourite decade, the music was incredible. It started with the Manchester scene, with the Stone Roses and Happy Mondays then the American post punk scene exploded into Grunge. The Raves were amazing and felt like such a happy optimistic time.

Ah thanks we had such a good time

The site at Crystal Palace is open until 18th of December and you can get a bus 300 yards away from the site entrance right into the centre of London for £1.50. It runs 24hrs a day and is perfect for trips to London. The future of the site is uncertain as the local Council want to build houses on it. It's had a stay of execution for 12 months at a time for about the last 3 or 4 years now, so not sure how many more years it'll be there. Worth a visit though

Great to pass you in Enfield today Sunday. We could not believe our eyes. We had just watched your London campsite output before heading out to the shops. Then Morgan sails past us as we are turning into the supermarket. Nice to wave and get one back from you both.

Glad you enjoyed yourselves so much! I live a short distance from the Lea Valley campsite. Although the site itself is a bit barren, a quick glance at the satellite view of the area will show you that it’s part of a huge wetlands park, with large reservoirs and a navigable canal, (River Lee or Lea), leading down to the Thames. Where you have a navigation, you have a tow path which can be a great walking or cycling route, always flat and away from roads.

After watching this episode, and then having maybe a few too many on Christmas Day, we booked Abbey Wood campsite, and back to the future the musical.

Great video. Thank you both. Having been born and grown up in Woolwich, I really smiled when you started to panic about finding yourselves heading towards the Woolwich Free Ferry - and where it would take you! I'm old enough to remember going on the paddle steamer ferry boats back in the mid 1950s and being taken down to the engine rooms to see the massive workings thundering away as we prepared to leave the loading ramps. A real treat for a kid - and we just went to the other side and back several times before going home. I was always told that it was the only free ferry in the world. Is that still the case I wonder? Keep up the good work Janine and Liam and greetings from Bodmin Moor - a long way from south London.

Liam you are a lot braver than me driving in London after over thirty five plus years of driving I refuse to even go near London even when I drove professionally it's a mad house so well done mate. Last time I stayed in London to see a show was in 2006 and was with a group of colleges (company paid for it as a long service award) in a five star hotel very noisy outside. I never knew that there was camp sites in London. If you ever travel north along the A1 when you reach Biggleswade turn left at the Sainsbury's roundabout follow road to next roundabout and on your right you will see G M Growers they don't do ready meals but proper fresh vegetables which judging by Liam's cooking he would appreciate.
