🇬🇧 ZONE 02 — SOUTH EAST ENGLAND

Southeast England | Sea, Castles, Old Towns, and English Villages

If you're looking for a more "classic England" experience outside of London, the South East region is a great option. 🏰🌊 It offers historical cities, beautiful coastlines, castles, old villages, and vineyards, especially Kent and Sussex, renowned for their coastal routes and local wines.

📍 Must-Visit Places

👑 Windsor — Old town and Windsor Castle, perfect for those interested in royal history.

🏛️ Oxford — An ancient university city with a classic atmosphere, great for strolling.

🌊 Brighton — A vibrant seaside city with beaches, piers, restaurants, and trendy neighborhoods.

⛪ Canterbury — A historic city with Canterbury Cathedral as a highlight.

🤍 White Cliffs of Dover — White chalk cliffs overlooking the English Channel. Stunning sea views and one of Kent's most iconic landmarks:

🌿 Seven Sisters – Chalk cliffs by the sea perfect for scenic walks and photos.

🏘️ Rye – A small town with old streets, beautiful houses, and a nostalgic English atmosphere.

🏰 Bodiam Castle – A medieval castle surrounded by a moat, giving off a fairytale vibe. 🏰

🍇 Kent & Sussex Vineyards – Another hidden gem of England, with interesting wine production areas that many may not know about.

🚆 How to get there?

A major advantage of the South East is its relatively convenient access from London, especially Windsor, Brighton, Canterbury, and other cities along the train lines. However, natural attractions like Seven Sisters or some castles may require bus or car travel. 🚆🚗

🌸 Best time to visit:

April–June 🌷 Ideal for city walks and garden visits.
July–August ☀️ Great for coastal areas and seaside towns, but usually crowded.
September–October 🍂 Cooler weather, perfect for leisurely strolls. And it's a time when the countryside is incredibly beautiful.
November–December ✨ Many old towns start to get into the Christmas spirit.

💡 Tip: Don't try to visit the entire South East region in one trip. 😄 We recommend dividing it into Kent / Sussex / Oxfordshire / Windsor and choosing to travel in groups. This will save travel time and allow you to travel without getting too tired.

Recommended number of days: Approximately 4–6 days if you want to experience the old towns, coast, and nature without rushing.

📍@dishoompermitroom {} I’m back at the permit room and as usual, it was delicious. They’ve just started a new set lunch deal running mon-fri, 12-6, which includes a starter, main course, rice & naan to share between 2 people for £29 (£14.50 each). This was actually plenty of food for 2, but we did also get a couple of our favourite sides which were divine. If sharing food is your love language like it is ours, get yourself down to the permit room asap! #brightonfood #brighton #foodie #brightonfoodie #foodreview
