I wrote a guest post for the HostelBookers.com blog this past weekend on the Top 10 Cheap Day Trips from London and it was published yesterday.
Here’s an excerpt:
London is my favorite city on the face of the Earth – but sometimes you just feel like you’ve had enough of it. Many Brits will tell you that London is not England and that you should always explore further afield. So here is my top 10 list of the quickest and cheapest day trips from London, to get a true taste of what England has to offer. Best of all, these destinations are a cheap rail fare away!
Brighton
The south of England’s playground by the sea, Brighton has a long history as a pleasure destination. It’s only about an hour from London by train, but it’s a world away. Experience a gentler time on the Victorian Pier, dip your toes in the sea and take in the gaudy Royal Pavilion – the famous home of the Prince Regent. Enjoy fish and chips by the sea and the quirky shopping in the Lanes, and crash in a Brighton hostel so you can experience the legendary nightlife.
If you plan in advance you can get train fares to Brighton from London for as little as £5. Trains leave from London Victoria Station.
