Campsite help needed in and around London

[fantasque]

My wife is going to a charity do at the O2 in Kentish Town at the end of the month. The nearest tube station appears to be on the Northern Line. Does anyone know of a Campsite or Legal Parkup somewhere along the route of the Northern Line?

02 is on the jubilee line - North Greenwich


Getting someone nearer the other end should be easier. (Stanmore etc)

Sorry, think I misled you, I accidentally put the arena but it’s actually just the O2 in Kentish Town that she’s going to.

No worries - "The O2 Forum"

I should have picked up on The Kentish Town reference Appologies

Same principle will apply the further away from the centre of London the better,
London parking is a complete nightmare with so many permit parking spaces and and lottery of on street paid parking.
Obviously there are paid car parks, many have height restrictions not suitable for a Cali. - up you'll need to check each car park individually

There are literally no camping places that I know of in central London. - others may know but I suspect you either won't get told or you wouldn't want to attempt it!

It May be better to look at tube to one of the more metropolitan locations outside London. London tube is easy to navigate, there are several apps to assist route planning, you don't need an Oyster card or ticket simply tap in out and out with a bank card at the ticket gate (you'll only get charged upto a maximum amount in one day - can't remember exactly but it about £10)

Parking - Brent Cross has a large shopping centre & open air carpark - open late (bottom of M1) and has a tube station nearby.

Aldenham park has a campsite- easy access from M1 or tube from Stanmore.

Hotel in London?
Heathrow hotel can be cheap & include parking due to competition And is easy to get to London.

Air B&B

The above is probably not ideal but it gives you an idea if you are prepared to get creative

I wish you luck

I hope others will chip in with other ideas

Thanks for the heads up but the site is full the day we need.

We have stayed here, bus to Walthamstow Central and underground into London. The bus runs until midnight.

Depends how far out you are happy to go. My daughter lives in Finchley(Cyprus Avenue) and her road has no restrictions and is 10-15 minute walk to the tube. Must be others around.

Thanks very much for the info but that won’t be late enough. My wife’s brother runs a charity for accessibility to concerts and festivals. He is celebrating the 25th anniversary of his charity on the 28th of July taking over the O2 Kentish Town for a free concert for carers, Lewis Capaldi is headlining. This probably won’t finish until 11pm ish and there will be the inevitable after event party to the early hours so needs to be accessible by tube. Realistically, I think the only option is for her to book a local hotel. Thanks for everyone’s help but I think a local campsite is not going to work.

Have a look at sites along The Elizabeth Line. 30 minutes into the City.
