Dreamy day trips from London

1.  st leonards-on-sea.

Famed for how many Londoners moved here during lockdown (it’s even been referred to as Dalston-on-Sea, which is cringe, we’ll admit), St Leonards-On-Sea is a cracking day out from the Big Smoke for beachside drinks and a tonne of great food spots. Head to food market Heist  (basically a much nicer version of Boxpark) for orange wine and street food, then sink pints at Goat Ledge , a vibesy, colourful shack right on the beach. If you fancy splashing out a little, book dinner at the fabulously old-school  St Clement’s for white tablecloths and delicious seafood. Plus you've got easy access to the rest of Hastings for its Old Town, pier and the Norman castle ruins.

How far? 58 miles

How to get there: A one hour 18 minute train from London Charing Cross

2.  Dungeness

Dungeness’s shingly, shipwreck-dotted beach is so spookily empty that it’s been described as Britain’s only desert (though the Met Office refuses to technically recognise it as such, the party poopers). It’s a beautifully eerie landscape, with the (disused) nuclear power station and two lighthouses looming over a motley mixture of weathered shacks, beached fishing boats and sleek, modernist bungalows – all clustered along a single in-and-out road.

But despite all that emptiness, there’s a surprising amount to do here. You could catch the Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch steam train down the coast, and hop off in Dungeness for a walk and a pint at the lonely Britannia Inn. Grab a freshly-caught lunch at the famous Snack Shack: specialities include lobster or crab rolls and smoked cod chowder. And check out the galleries and open houses showcasing the work of the (surprisingly) many artists who have moved down here, including the shingle garden of the experimental filmmaker Derek Jarman, whose yellow-windowed Prospect Cottage is a major landmark here. Book in advance for a 40-minute tour inside.

If you’ve got time, head over to RSPB Dungeness nature reserve for a chance to glimpse glossy ibises and marsh harriers – plus the huge concrete ‘sound mirrors’, pre-radar experiments from WW1 that were designed to listen out for planes. (Look out on the RSPB site for news of the rare open days when you can get up close.) Finish off your day with dinner at the Pilot Inn; I’m willing to back the quality of their famous fish and chips, which were the thing that brought Derek Jarman here in the first place.

How far? 86 miles

Get there O ne hour  by train from St Pancras International to Folkestone, with a one-hour 30-minute bus ride to Dungeness. Or take a bus or taxi from Folkestone to Hythe station to board the Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway. Alternatively, Dungeness is  around two hours from London by car.

3.  Stratford-upon-Avon

As a born-and-bred Midlander, I’ve spent many Saturdays traipsing around Stratford-upon-Avon’s lovely streets. With its half-timbered houses and canalside pubs, Stratford’s got just enough of the  small-town charm you’re craving on an escape from the Big Smoke, but unlike a small town, there’s actually loads to see and do.  

The Bard, of course, is the big draw here, and Shakespeare’s house, his wife Anne Hathaway’s cottage and the RSC’s famous theatre are all must-sees. But Stratford is more than just a Tudor Disneyland, we promise. Take a boat tour of the canal basin to find out more about the West Midlands waterways, refresh yourselves in the Grade II-listed Old Thatch Tavern and stop for a scoop of Eton mess ice cream at Hooray’s British Gelato Kitchen. 

How far? 104 miles

Get there T wo hours 15 minutes  by train from Marylebone; around two hours by car. 

4.  Whitstable

Don’t even think about thinking about it: Whitstable is far from overhyped. Sure, the secret is most definitely out about this fabulous little seaside town, but the vibes here are as great as they were 20 years ago. Grab brunch at Farm & Harper , fish and chips at Ossie’s and a glorious pint of craft at the Twelve Taps , and treat yourself to a dozen oysters to go at Wheelers Oyster Bar on the high street. Once you’ve walked the length of the beach and admired the beach huts, settle in at the famous pub-on-the-beach Old Neptune for a pint and wait for sunset to fall. Plus, Whitstable is so near, you’ll be back home before you can say ‘ another   bank holiday?’. But that’s if you don’t miss the last train.

How far? 50 miles

Get there One hour 15 minutes from St Pancras International, around two hours by car.

5.  Brighton

With its pebble beach, wall-to-wall live music venues and buzzing LGBTQ+ scene, there’s nowhere better for topping up your Vitamin Sea levels than Brighton . Start your day by dodging seagulls on the Palace Pier, then shop up a storm in the Lanes, which are packed with independent boutiques, record stores and vegan eateries. Sit down with a couple of pints in the Brighton Beer Dispensary, which champions small Sussex breweries like the Hand Brew Co.

How far?  A little over 50 miles

Get there One hour by train from Victoria, Blackfriars or London Bridge; around two hours by car. 

6.  The New Forest

A trip to the New Forest is about as close as you can get to going on safari without buying a plane ticket. As you make your way down dappled lanes and across the heather-covered heath you’ll be watched the famous ponies, which have grazed there for thousands of years, plus free-ranging Highland cattle and pigs hoovering up fallen acorns. Don’t fancy being stuck in the car all day? Hire a two-seater electric Twizzy buggy to explore in, or book a beginners’ hack at one of the stables. Don’t forget to make time for a proper ploughman’s lunch at the Royal Oak in Fritham.

How far? 90 miles

Get there  One hour 30 minutes by train from Waterloo to Brockenhurst; around two hours by car. Just remember that animals, not drivers, have right of way here.

7.  Rye

The antique shops and higgledy-piggledy cobbled lanes of Rye make it feel like a little slice of the Cotswolds on the coast. After you’ve satisfactorily browsed around the accurately named Tiny Book Store, treat yourself to a seafood lunch surrounded by lobster pots at Globe Inn Marsh, followed by Sussex real ale or a glass of local wine at The George. The Chapel Down vineyard is just up the road and well worth a visit if you want to know the ins and outs of wine-making – or simply enjoy a tipple with their signature wine tasting. Ten minutes away are the pillowy dunes of Camber Sands: roll your trousers up and splash through the shallows, take a kite for a spin or just park your towel and stretch out.

How far? 79 miles.

Get there  One hour 10 minutes by train from St Pancras International (with a change at Ashford); around two hours by car. 

8.  Box Hill

Biking to green and pleasant Surrey is a wheely nice way to spend a Sunday (sorry) – plus, Box Hill was part of the 2012 Olympic road-cycling route. Start in Richmond Park and pedal down past Hampton Court – it should take you about two hours. After a 1.6 mile climb and some hairpin bends (easier than it sounds!), you’ll be rewarded with stunning views of the North Downs from the top of Box Hill. Grab a slice of cake from the National Trust café, and save space for lunch at The Tree, which serves homemade pies and crumbles. Your last stop is Box Hill and Westhumble station, where you can load your bikes on to a train back to Waterloo. Whew!

How far? 30 miles

Get there  Two hours by bike (obviously). Plan the route carefully before you set out, and take a map and a puncture repair kit, plus water and snacks.

9.  Bath

A glorious water-themed day awaits you in the city of Bath . Start as you mean to go on with a tour of the Romans baths (no paddling allowed, you’ve been warned), before making a splash in the Thermae Bath Spa – the rooftop pool has stunning views of the city. Once you’ve dried off, make like Jane Austen and stroll along the Royal Crescent. Peckish? Sally Lunn’s teahouse is home to the Sally Lunn Bun, a kind of sweet brioche bap – for a Bath take on the cream tea, order one toasted and spread with strawberry jam and clotted cream.

How far? 115 miles

Get there  One hour 30 minutes by train from Paddington; two hours 30 minutes by car. 

10.  Mersea Island

Attached to the mainland by a causeway that floods (and pub quizzers, take note: this is the UK’s most easterly inhabited island), Mersea feels properly remote at high tide. The big draw is The Company Shed, which serves seafood platters that pull in crowds from all over the country every weekend. It’s BYOB – bring your own bread – and they don’t take bookings, so get there before noon to make sure you can feast on prawns, smoked fish, oysters and dressed crab. Speaking of which, catch-and-release crabbing is encouraged – there are specially marked areas near the water, and shops selling the kit. Or you can book a boat trip around the bay.

How far? 69 miles

Get there  One hour by train from Liverpool Street to Colchester, then a 45-minute bus to Mersea Island; around two hours by car. D on’t forget to check the tide timetable before you set off...

Living in Charlton: Guide to Bars, Food & Things To Do

Currently undergoing regeneration plans, Charlton is becoming an exciting side of south-east London. The Royal Borough of...

Currently undergoing regeneration plans, Charlton is becoming an exciting side of south-east London. The Royal Borough of Greenwich district is often overlooked by the trendy nearby Canary Wharf and Greenwich Village. Living in Charlton offers a more suburban experience though, with some prime hotspots along the Thames – and more to come.

The sprawling Charlton Park and numerous smaller parklands means you’ll never be far from green spaces to escape to either. There’s also an abundance of sports and recreational centres, making Charlton a good choice for those who like to keep active. What’s more, the district’s main train station keeps you easily connected to the City. Get to London Bridge in just 20 minutes and Euston in 40 minutes.

If you’re thinking about living in the area, here are some of the best places to go.

Charlton Athletic Football Ground

You can’t talk about living in Charlton without including the area’s well-known Charlton Athletic football ground . Once the largest football pitch in London, the now 27,000 seat stadium still attracts a busy crowd of football fans throughout the year.

Nicknamed ‘The Valley’, the ground dates back to 1919 when a group of volunteers dug out a sandy pit in the area and built makeshift stands for recreational football. Charlton Athletic Football Club turned professional in the aftermath of World War I in 1920 and are best known for their legendary 1947 FA Cup win.

Charlton Lido & Lifestyle Club

After an extensive refurbishment in 2013, Charlton Lido & Lifestyle Club has become a hub of wellness. Those looking for a fitness kick can make the most of the on-site facilities. The outdoor, Olympic-sized 50m pool is among London’s best lidos. Plus, it’s heated, so you can brave a swim even when it’s not summer. In the sunnier months, relax on the poolside terrace with a drink after your swim.

Not only is there the pool, there’s also a gym and studio offering classes around the clock, led by personal trainers and instructors. The centre also has floodlit tennis courts, so you can practise your skills in the lead-up to Wimbledon .

Address: Hornfair Park, Shooters Hill Road, London SE18 4LX Phone: 020 8856 7389 Follow: @charltonlidolifestyle

Savour the flavours of the Far East at Cattleya . The Thai restaurant features an eclectic menu of authentic dishes, with a nudge towards Spanish tapas too. The relaxed atmosphere and choice of dishes for all dietary requirements make it a good place to visit with a group of friends.

You can expect Westernised favourites such as prawn crackers, Phad Thai , tempura vegetables and spring rolls. Or be tempted by more experimental dishes, such as Po-Tak (a mixed seafood hot and sour soup), Kaeng Pa (a jungle curry made with coconut milk), or Weeping Tiger (a marinated and grilled sirloin steak, Thai style).

Charlton House & Park

Charlton House & Garden is a grand example of multiple historic periods. Originally built between 1607 and 1612, the manor showcases the evolution of the English country house. Considered one of England’s finest surviving Jacobean manors, it was first home to Sir Adam Newton, the tutor of Henry, Prince of Wales (eldest son of King James I). Since this time, many acclaimed people have passed through its doors.

You can visit the house for free and look round the impressive rooms, as well as the walled gardens and grounds. For the complete experience, book a special afternoon tea in the house’s Charlton Tea Room, enjoying views across the gardens and Charlton Park.

The Reach Climbing Wall

Indoor climbing walls have become particularly popular in recent years. The Reach Climbing Wall is among the longest-standing and largest. Its south-east London location on an industrial estate overlooking the Thames Barrier has been open for more than 20 years.

Offering a great source of exercise and fun, the complex has many different climbs to suit beginners, thrill seekers and altitude chasers. The complex boasts 50 lead climbs, with 650-square-metres of bouldering surface and an incredible 4-metre-high boulder, so you can pick a climb to match your abilities. Book climbing classes to get started or visit solo once you’re ready to challenge yourself.

Address: Unit 6, Mellish Estate, Harrington Way, London SE18 5NR Phone: 020 8855 9598 Email: [email protected] Follow: @reachclimbingwall

Anchor & Hope Pub

The riverside pub Anchor & Hope is a cosy retreat for a pint and hearty pub food. Overlooking the Thames, with views towards the Thames Barrier, the gastropub truly comes to life in the summer months thanks to its expansive garden.

Nothing says pub lunch quite like fish and chips. Dine on some of the best in the area as all seafood is provided fresh by the neighbouring fishmongery, Winkles. You can also find other classic British favourites on the menu, including Sunday roasts, pie and mash, and burgers.

Address: 2 Riverside, Greenwich Peninsula, London SE7 7SU Phone: 020 8858 0382

Looking for an alternative social experience whilst living in Charlton? Tucked away along the Thames riverside, Bunker 51 might look unsuspecting from the outside, but don’t be fooled. The gaming centre offers paintballing, laser tag and airsoft activities with a twist – the venue is a themed Cold War nuclear bunker with zombie-led experiences.

Try your luck against your friends, compete as part of a unique stag or hen do, or mix things up during a team building event with colleagues.

Address: 3 Herringham Road, Greenwich Peninsula, London SE7 8NJ Phone: 0330 333 8085 Email: [email protected] Follow: @bunker51

New Viceroy

Located in the heart of Charlton Village, New Viceroy brings the East to the West. Dine on authentic Indian and Nepalese cuisine. Dishes are crafted to offer a fusion of flavours, whether you’re a spice lover or not.

Choose a meat or vegetable biryani – New Viceroy’s speciality dish – or try a classic tikka masala curry. There are plenty of vegetarian-friendly dishes on the menu too.
