Time Out No. #54 | Monday 12 April 2021

Praise be: as of this morning, you can do a load of fun stuff again! Stuff like travel anywhere you like within England, stay over in self-catering accommodation and drink a pint in a lovely coastal beer garden. All of which means you should definitely check out our comprehensive guide to the absolute best seaside towns within easy reach of London. Oysters, art, tidal pools and sandy – yes, sandy – beaches await. Get that salty air down you.

Staycation destinations around the nation

Cobbles, nature walks, charming pubs and other picturesque pursuits.

When was the last time you visited London’s naughty little seaside sister?

You’ll find much more than molluscs in this fishing town. Here’s what’s what.

Live out your Hogwarts/Brideshead fantasies, or take a punt on punting.

Of course you’re bored of your local park. Who wouldn’t be? So step up your new-found walking habit and embark on one of these ridiculously scenic hikes across the country – some of them starting not far from the capital, and all of them well worth the schlep.

The world looks a bit different this year, and so does our annual survey of city-dwellers around the globe. As cities everywhere start to emerge from the pandemic, we want to know how you feel about life right now. Answer our fun quiz (it takes less than 10 minutes) and at the end, we’ll tell you exactly how much you love your city. All answers are completely anonymous, so don’t hold back! Ready?
