10
Best Winter Day Trips From London

1
For the light-deprived

London isn’t the only place lit up with shimmering LEDs at this time of year. Swap Oxford Street’s baubles for a magical winter garden in West Sussex.

2
For frustrated commuters

Is there anything more magical than a train journey? Okay commuters, let’s rephrase that. Is there anything more magical than an old-fashioned steam locomotive.

3
For the fuzzy-headed

Whether you want to walk off the nut roast, exercise the dog or escape the family, at some point over the festive break you’ll need to leave the house.

4
For dedicated drinkers

Warming your toes by a proper fire is one of the best things to do in the chillier months, and nowhere does roaring blazes better than a country pub. 

5
For the always-peckish

Like a marathon runner building up to a race, prepare your body for the festive influx of food with a trip to Chapel Down in the Kent countryside.

6
For the bold and the brave

Stripping down to your swimmers might not seem like an obvious wintertime activity, but Thames Lido is a real delight, whatever the season.

7
For party planners

Hosting a festive shindig? Brush up on your cocktail-mixing skills at the Bombay Sapphire Distillery. 

8
For the digital-detoxers

Teeming with half-timbered medieval halls, cute cottages and pastel shopfronts, Rochester is one of Kent’s prettiest, greenest towns.

9
For night owls

Watching the light fade out of your office window hours before you leave for the day can make even the cheeriest of us feel a bit down. 

10
For crowd haters

When the crowds in central London get too much, ditch Zone 1 for a field in the middle of nowhere.
