Brighton gets really busy on sunny weekends, when half of London seems to get on the train to enjoy the sunshine. And it’s really worth it!

There are lots of nice shops, bars and, of course, the beach!

HOW TO DO IT:

• Go: Trains from London are frequent and cheap, so there’s no need to book in advance.
• Do: Walk around the Lanes, a pedestrianised shopping area full of quirky and cool shops.
• Eat: Terre a Terre is a famous veggie restaurant that is on the top of my wishlist – it’s highly recommended and everything on the menu looks amazing!
