You’d never believe you’re in London! · via Google [Joe Campbell](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/112877130512649942180/reviews) ★★★★★ Lovely little camping cabin. Note there's electricity but not water supply. "Bed" not amazing. Was relieved I could get into site late and out early (key fob says gates closed 22:00-8:00). Friendly staff, friendly fellow campers. Nice spacious showers. Really near Abbey Wood station so great for my commute (!) · via Google [M T](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/107739409119384404870/reviews) ★★★★★ Lovely site with lots of trees and parakeets ! The pod was lovely too just about big enough, bed not so comfortable tbh far too hard and springy for adults, ok for a few days, shower was good, very cosy at night looking out, When the bed was pulled down the side alcoves were very dusty and dirty, loo seat was loose, easy to miss I guess but not good all the same. Staff were friendly, easy access to London, no where to eat really so bring your own food & drinks · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x47d8a82a8ca9dca7:0x31abb25f451c8402!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ## At a glance **Address** Blackheath Avenue, London, SE10 8XJ [Get directions](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=51.4768530%2C-0.0005002) **Category** Sightseeing & Attractions **Guest rating** 4.6 / 5 (22,711 reviews) **Suitable for** All Ages **Suggested visit** 3-4 hours **Setting** Indoor & outdoor **Dogs allowed** Yes **Good for children** Yes **Toilets on site** Yes **Destination** London [More attractions in London](https://staycation.co.uk/london/attractions) ★ 4.6 (22,711 reviews) [Visit official website](https://www.rmg.co.uk/royal-observatory?utm_source=staycation.co.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=attraction) [020 8312 6608](tel:02083126608) (please mention staycation.co.uk when calling) ### Quick Facts **Destination** London **Postcode** SE10 8XJ **Payment** Cards, Contactless **Plus Code** 9F32F4P9+3W [Directions ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/dir//''/data=!4m7!4m6!1m1!4e2!1m2!1m1!1s0x47d8a82a8ca9dca7:0x31abb25f451c8402!3e0?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [More photos on Google ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x47d8a82a8ca9dca7:0x31abb25f451c8402!10e5?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [Write a review ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x47d8a82a8ca9dca7:0x31abb25f451c8402!12e1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ### 🏨 Places to stay near London Hotels, B&Bs and self-catering on Booking.com, with live prices.
