Escape the city with more than 50 day trips from London, and discover the UK’s hidden treasures.

DayTripper: London is for anyone who wants to get off the beaten track and see more of what the UK has to offer. With over fifty day trips to explore, and a few overnight and weekend adventures thrown in, each trip is no more than a couple of hours from London by train. Explore hidden galleries and museums, visit centuries-old royal castles, stately homes, and prehistoric monuments, or hike along some of the ancient Roman routes that crisscross the country. Slow down and spend time in an ancient forest or stop overnight at a local spa in the Cotswolds. For food and drink lovers, there are excursions to some of the UK’s oldest pubs, visits to wineries where sparkling wine regularly outstrips Champagne for the best drop, and trips to the beach to sample some of the nation’s finest seafood. 

With maps, beautiful photography, and all the tips and tricks you need to make the most of your time in the UK, DayTripper: London will get you out of the city to experience the hidden gems that aren’t featured in tourist brochures.
