ONE TRAIN AWAY: RICHMOND
Central London is filled with fun things to do and places to see but sometimes it's nice to get out of the fast-paced city and have a peaceful day near the river in one of London’s most popular boroughs, Richmond upon Thames.
ONE TRAIN AWAY: CAMBRIDGE
Think of Cambridge when you want to chill. It’s summer shopping in the market, finding cobbled streets which lead to hidden gems. It’s punting on the river, grabbing a cold cider from the floating bar. It’s cow spotting on Midsummer Common. It’s exploring the history of the Cambridge College sites, one of the oldest universities in the world.
ONE TRAIN AWAY: PARIS
Paris is only a two-hour train ride away from London and if you book well in advance, you can get a return ticket for under £150. What’s great about a planned weekend away is being able to book your jump-the-queue tickets and make dinner reservations at the hottest restaurants to make as much of your time as you possibly can.
