10 Day Trips From London To Add To Your Itinerary

Nidhi Kadere

Stonehenge

It is a prehistoric stone circle built 5000 years ago, older than the Pyramids of Giza. The largest stones weigh 25 tons and stand 9m tall. Due to the fear of erosion, you can't touch the stones but can stroll around them on paths.

Canterbury

A city in England, it is known for its beautiful cathedral, which is considered to be one of the finest in Europe. The town itself is very charming, with narrow alleys that follow the original medieval street plan and the River Stour flowing past Tudor facades.

Margate

Once a popular seaside destination for the Victorians, with its long curve of golden sand, Margate lost its charm in the late 20th century. The infusion of recent investments has brought back the retro charm, with Turner Contemporary, an art gallery, playing a crucial role in this revitalisation.

Brighton

It is known for its creativity and grungy atmosphere and is also one of the most LGBTIQ+ friendly cities in the UK. Some call it London-on-Sea, but that's more because of the high property prices than the city's character.

Bath

Bath, Britain's most beautiful city, was founded by the Romans who used thermal springs to create a spa retreat. With grand squares and crescents defining the city, it is celebrated for its magnificent Georgian architecture.

Winchester

Winchester is technically considered a city due to its impressive cathedral, but it has the welcoming atmosphere of a small town. It was once the capital of England around 1000 years ago, and it was also home to King Alfred the Great.

Oxford

Oxford, famous for its world-renowned university and forest of red-tinted spires, is a place of grandeur and nobility. Despite the imposing historical significance, the city is kept youthful by its large student population.

Cambridge

Cambridge, with its prestigious university, ancient colleges, and tradition, is reminiscent of Oxford but with more green space and less traffic, with far more tranquillity.
