Time Out No. #76 | Tuesday 21 September 2021

For a good chunk of 2021, Brits were totally forbidden from holidaying abroad. But as the UK continues to reopen, the country has finally lifted its blanket ban on foreign leisure trips. This means that, for Brits, that long-awaited holiday in the sun – or family reunion – might actually be a reality. And as of this month, there are even more changes. Gone are the ‘green’, ‘amber’ and ‘red’ categories. Now, there are just two lists – and if you’re fully vaccinated, there are fewer restrictions. Here’s everything you need to know about the new rules.

Travel news you can use

It’s that time again. The greatest magazine in London (and perhaps the world) has returned to the streets of the capital. This week we’ve got Lashana bloody Lynch on the bloody cover!

Spent the last year avoiding the news by escaping into novel after novel? If you’re not quite ready to let go of your literary lockdown, perhaps you should consider basing your next day out around the life of a famous author. Finding legit locations, however, can be a bit of a task. You can’t move for cafés that claim to have once served Charles Dickens, or hotels supposedly visited by Virginia Woolf. So we’ve come up with our own pick of the best holidays in the UK for every type of reader.
