Having booked tickets for the Spurs v Wolves game Lee Valley Camping and Caravan site seemed the logical choice for a base. It was £12 (no elec hook up) for one night (me and soon to be 8 year old Benji) and the facilities are very good, especially when you compare it to many CL sites. There's a little shop on site with all the basics. It is also right next to a reservoir and had we had the time we would have had a walk round.
It was a cold night, but the eberspacher heater more than coped - in fact I woke up at midnight and had to turn it down because it was too hot!
In the morning we caught the train from Ponders End down to Tottenham Hale and then the underground (Victoria Line) into London for an all-to-short morning visit to the Science Museum and Hamleys.
It was Benji's first visit to White Hart Lane and we loved it. It was a shame we only drew, but you can't have everything. Wolves parked the bus and we didn't put enough pressure on their keeper.
The best bet for traveling back to the campsite from White Hart Lane is either the train from Northumberland Park to Ponders End (then a 10 minute walk back to Lee Valley) or catch the 279 Bus to Bounces Road and then the W8 service to Lee Valley.
