A GROUP of cheeky travellers hoped they wouldn't be noticed when they attempted to join other caravans on public land in Sidcup.

They had planned to stay camped on The Green, in Sidcup, where the Moscow State Circus is currently performing, alongside the circus caravans. But a sharp-eyed member of the public and circus staff saw the handful of travellers' caravans pulling onto The Green and the threat of the police was enough to convince them to move on within hours of their arrival at the weekend.
