Taking my caravan down next week to save the best part of £600 per month in Travelodge expenses. I have the choice of Lee Valley, or Abbey Wood. Both are the same distance from Stratford and I know travelling to Enfield (Lee Valley) will be the lesser of two evils - however, I fancy Abbey Wood so I can cycle or train into the city with my camera.
So, just how bad will it be travelling south of the river at 5pm and back to Stratford at 7am?
Got to say you be queuing up very early on the M11
Maybe better parking the Caravan with the Gipsies on the Bow Triangle http://www.towerhamlets.gov.uk/lgsl/651-700/655_authorised_travellers_sit.aspx
Probably better on the campsite near Epping Forest

And maybe better getting on the Central line into Stratford
Traveling in from South you probably best go through the Greenwich foot tunnel
and cycling towards Poplar and then through to Bow flyover turning right into
Stratford.
But be very carful driving around the Bow flyover due to a cyclist killed last year.

Eh, neither option would mean me using the M11 to access - unless I was to go the long way round to Lee Valley.
Train not an option - I have a pick-up full of tools.
Cheers anyway
The traffic is worse heading north in the morning and south in the evening. At 5 pm is will be bad, however at 7 am is will be ok.
Abbey wood is a shit hole so be careful, Belvedere is not too bad.
P.S. When I say 7 am I mean you are at the tunnel by 07:00. The traffic situation can change very quickly.
