Weekends are too good to waste!

The summer season may be over, but there is no excuse not to make the most of your weekends. The UK is perfect for a short break with family or friends, here are some of the best.
The UK is teeming with exciting and diverse destinations and by using your weekends wisely, you'll find that there are plenty of places you can explore. Take your pick from the following and start planning a mini weekend-breaks with family and friends.

Set off after work on a Friday and head home late on Sunday - this gives you three evenings, two days and two nights to have fun with! We've tried and tested loads of cities, beaches and countryside in the UK to bring you some of the best for a weekend break.

So, instead of hitting your local shopping centre for the fifth week running, you could be at the theatre in London, hiking in Wales or surfing in Cornwall (as long as you don't mind risking the chance of rain!) Weekends in the UK never felt so good...

London

Big Ben

We start with London. England's capital, and hometown to most of our team here, which gives us a great insider knowledge to this vibrant city.

From top attractions to some of the best restaurants and nightclubs - what you can't find here, you'll be hard pushed to find elsewhere. In fact, there is so much to do here that when most people visit they don't find time to get around it all.


See some of our favourites in our London Guide and see how much you can do in your weekend away!
