Hey Caroline! I wouldn’t say I’m an expert exactly on England travel but I actually do have a trip there that I haven’t started writing recaps of yet (so stay tuned!) I would say Brighton would be an amazing day trip — it’s a beautiful beach town that I loved! I’ll be posting about it soon!

Hello, I’m Caroline from Argentina and will be travelling with my 15th year old daughter to London next september.

Thanks for the info of major attractions, will study them one by one and try to do the best.

I wanted to know which are the best outer London places to visit. My idea is to get a train, see the country and reach some place not too far, but different from the city itself, viewable in a day. Any suggestions? I have in total a week in London. Thank you

In reply to travelgasm. If you read my more recent London posts, you'll see it's definitely grown on me over the years :) Third time is charm, for sure!

Enjoyed your London confession. There’s definitely nothing wrong with unplugging from the travel blogger grind sometime to reconnect with people (instead of digital screens!) and remember why you enjoy travel in the first place.

Sorry to hear that London wasn’t your cuppa tea overall. The grey skies and rain can do that sometimes. On a sunny day, though, we’ve always thought that it very well might be the best city in the world. Glad to hear that it is growing on you a bit in time, too.

London keeps growing on me… in fact, I’m headed there again this fall and can’t wait 🙂 It’s a city that has taken me a while to wrap my head around, but now I love it!

As a local I am a tiny bit offended by you’re lac of love with the city, but it’s the same way I feel about Paris. I think big expensive cities are not always the best to visit, but are a lot more fun to experience as a longer term lifestyle. There’s also a reason why it’s only tourists at a lot of the stereotypical ‘tourist’ spots – it sounds like you managed to experience some more of the real London so hopefully that changed your mind a bit!

In reply to Jana. Very few countries seem super friendly when you compare them to America, land of big smiles :) We truly value our "have a nice day!" hollers!

You are missing customer service in London???? If you ever come to Germany, please don’t feel offended but the customer service around here is totally horrible! I used to live in London for a year and I did not like it too much, either but I never complained about customer service. Even now, when I go back there with my husband to meet my friends, he always tells me how nice and friendly everyone is and how much he loves that!!!

Not London but that place is also known as a ‘sterile’ nation 🙂 I am more drawn towards other cities.

It’s never too late to comment! 🙂 I’m curious what this place is, now…
