Need last-minute 2–3 day trip ideas from London (not too close, not too far)
Me and my girlfriend just realized we’re both off work from tomorrow till Monday, and now apparently I’m responsible for “planning something nice” instead of just existing at home.
I have been living in London for about 2.5 years, and somehow I still don’t know where to go for a short stay (which feels slightly embarrassing at this point). I’m more of a stay-at-home person, but she wants a proper trip.
Looking for places outside London where we can stay 2–3 days, relax, maybe do some sightseeing, walk around, eat decent food, and not feel like we travelled across the planet. So ideally somewhere not too close but also not a full mission to reach.
We don’t have a car, so train-friendly places would be ideal.
Any suggestions for good weekend spots in England (or nearby) that are actually worth it?
Appreciate any ideas before I get blamed for “not planning anything” 😭
