点评:I stayed last year and a few years previously.
Perhaps Glampers and countryside campers make up most of the overnight guests.
But I’d also recommend the park to anyone visiting central London who wants to consider mixing up the bustle of the city with the benefits of the nature.
To the Metropolis and back is doable by public transport. For the able bodied, its a brisk morning walk to Elstree village bus stop - along the lake, quiet roads or country paths. I’ve done it (less briskly) on a crutch. The same walk back can feel spooky after dark, but I’ve also done that many times, with never a bogeyman to be seen. A taxi ride alterative would be about 10 minutes from Edgware Station (which is 30 minutes by tube from Leicester Square), and less than 5 minutes from the bus stop at Elstree.
Save yourself a fortune on London priced accommodation while you’re at it. Small Tent. Ground mat. Air pillow. Summer sleeping bag. Sorted. Running water. Hot showers. Toilets. Included.
You can see the stars here. And fall asleep to the silence. Then wake up afresh to watch the sun slowly colour the fields, through the chilled yawning layers of mist. Legend.
If you meet Andy you’ll get the feeling he’s the man who keeps it all ship shape. Holly was ready to help with a radiant smile.
Ground yourself in Nature. Revitalise. Then head to the city. And do it again.
Just reward for your adventurous spirit.

或许大多数过夜的游客都是那些喜欢露营的人。
不过,我也向所有想要在感受伦敦市区的繁华之余享受大自然的游客推荐这个公园。
乘坐公共交通往返市区也完全可行。对于体力不错的人来说,沿着湖边、安静的马路或乡间小径快步行走一段路就能到达埃尔斯特里村的公交站。我曾经拄着拐杖走过这条路(虽然速度慢了些)。天黑后走同样的路会让人觉得有点阴森,但我也这样做过很多次,却从未遇到过什么“怪物”。另一种出行方式是打车:从埃奇韦尔站出发大约10分钟就能到达(从莱斯特广场乘地铁到埃奇韦尔站也只需30分钟);而从埃尔斯特里的公交站打车则不到5分钟。
趁此机会,也省下一笔伦敦高昂的住宿费用吧:一个小帐篷、一张地垫、一个充气枕,再加上夏季用的睡袋——齐活了。还有自来水可用呢。热水淋浴、卫生间——全部包含在内。
在这里可以仰望星空,在宁静中入睡。醒来后,还能目睹太阳缓缓地为田野染上色彩,而层层寒雾则渐渐散去。宛如传奇般的美景。
如果你遇见安迪,会觉得他就是那个把一切打理得井然有序的人。霍莉则面带灿烂的笑容,随时准备提供帮助。
让自己融入大自然中,恢复活力吧。之后再去城市里转转,然后再重复这一过程。
这是对你冒险精神的最佳回报。
