7 Day Trip Ideas For Cash-Strapped Londoners

Stroll the Leas in Folkestone(01 of07)

The port town of Folkestone is a buzzing creative hub with a thriving artistic community; you can discover plenty of artists, designers and quirky cafes while exploring the town’s cobbled streets (we’d also recommend checking out the dreamy pastel-hued beach huts when you visit). It’s also the place to take a trip back in time thanks to the ever-popular Silver Screen Cinema, a 1940s-style indie theatre with red velvet seats. Bonus: you’ll find discount weekday movie tickets for £5.50 (before 5pm and on Tuesday evenings). Stretch your feet out after the cinema with a stroll along the Leas, Folkestone’s famed clifftop promenade. The views? Unbeatable – and you might even get a glimpse of France.

Enjoy a spot of culture in Margate(02 of07)

A firm favourite with artists and hipsters, Margate has been lauded as the best seaside town, best town beach in the country and one of the best places to live, ever (the recent multi-million pound regeneration the town is benefiting from is only helping!). Make it a gallery day with a trip to the Turner Contemporary, where you can enjoy a range of works from modern provocateurs. Did we mention entrance is free? And while you’re in town, go back a bit further in time with a visit to the Shell Grotto – a striking subterranean passageway believed to be from the 1700s, filled with mosaics of millions of shells (entrance is £4).

See nature at its most sublime in Dover(03 of07)

Just an hour and a quarter from London is one of England’s most majestic sights and iconic symbols: Dover’s White Cliffs. With the bracing, breezy sea air, breathtaking (and ever-changing) views and exciting flora and fauna (the cliffs are home to an array of exotic wildflowers and butterflies) - this National Trust destination is well worth the day trip. And don’t forget to go underground and explore the war tunnels at the Fan Bay Deep Shelter for a fascinating history lesson. (credit:Dave Carr via Getty Images)

Get your Victoriana on in Broadstairs(04 of07)

The charming coastal town of Broadstairs is full of quaint pubs, sandy beaches and fisherman’s cottages. No wonder it captivated Charles Dickens – it was his summer holiday spot of choice for nearly two decades. Indulge in some literary history with a day trip to the Dickens House Museum. The cottage is the inspiration for the home of Dickens’ Betsey Trotwood of David Copperfield fame and is packed with fun Dickensian memorabilia. Plus, entry is less than a fiver. True obsessives can also check out Broadstairs’ Bleak House, the author’s former residence, where he wrote David Copperfield. (credit:Prisma by Dukas via Getty Images)

Go walking and oyster-sampling in Whitstable(05 of07)

Fancy some cloisters? And then some oysters? Take a lovely walk along the Crab and Winkle way – a picturesque 8.2 mile trail from Canterbury through woods and rolling fields to the seaside town of Whitstable with glorious views of the town’s seafront and its famed weatherboard cottages. Before you head back to London, reward yourself with some of Whitstable’s famous oysters – head to Whitstable Oyster Company any day of the week, where the pearls of the sea start at £3.50 apiece.

Get away from it all in Sandwich’s Pegwell Bay(06 of07)

Sometimes we need to get to temper the hustle and bustle of city life with a bit of soul-soothing nature. The medieval town of Sandwich is unspoilt and worth visiting for the Salutation Gardens alone (the gloriously colourful gardens were originally designed by Edward Lutyens in 1912). Or you can go a bit further afield to the tranquil nature reserve of Sandwich & Pegwell Bay, known for its diverse habitats and impressive array of birds.

Be king for a day at Deal Castle(07 of07)

Just over an hour and 20 minutes away from London on the high speed train service, is a coastal town steeped in history: Deal. Formerly a smuggler’s hub in the 18th century, the English Heritage site of Deal Castle makes for a fascinating day trip. Built by Henry VIII, it’s part of a string of artillery forts he designed. There’s plenty of opportunity for visitors to explore across several levels, and the seafront beneath makes for a lovely walk afterwards (or cycle to nearby Walmer Castle for an extra dose of history). Fun fact: Deal Castle is shaped like a Tudor rose. And entry is less than £7. (credit:Flickr CC-BY Richard Matthews)
