I'm heading down to London for the next 4 days. Wondered if any of you could give me some hints as to the best camping shops. I want to buy a new tent and have posted elsewhere on the relative merits of a few.
Looking to go somewhere they've got a number of tents on display and specifically Coleman if anybody knows a specialist.
Your help would be much appreciated. Not taking any hold luggage so my allowance on the way back up could consist of a new tent!
London is a big place so were are u going. Out east on the A127 between Basildon and Wickford there is a place inside a garden centre called Allweathers wich have a web site and the garden centre is called Summerhill I think.
Also in romford there is P J Camping also with web site and they are on Collier Row road in Colllier Row
There are no camping stores in the centre of london with a display of med to large tents. As suggested above you have Pjs with a large display in romford, one way out west called HCCC I think and i remember an indoor shop with a small/med sized display called army and navy, again out towards romford.
If you go to the London West end (Theatre land), there was a camping shop in the Covent Garden area, not shaw of its name, bit i kw they do not have a tent desplay, but they did have a lot of kit.

Might be Field and Trek in Maiden Lane. There's also a Mountain Warehouse nearby.
A day of all things motorhome and campervan. The show is held both in the main indoor arena and across the grounds. Catering, hot drinks and food options are available. Easy access to the site and free parking included. Win one of five pairs of day tickets
