London - Day Trips
Escape to seaside Brighton or studious Cambridge - both just an hour away.
Londoners flock to the coast at weekends and Bank Holidays. Join them on Brighton's pebble beaches and in the boutique-lined Lanes, or slurp oysters in Whitstable, where pastel-painted houses line the shore. Hike through Epping's centuries-old oak forest, the golden fields of Constable Country or Kew Gardens and Kew Palace in Richmond, Surrey. Find book shops and smooth green quads in university towns Oxford and arch-rival Cambridge, or roam Roman Colchester Castle in Britain's oldest recorded town.
