10 day trips from London to do this May Bank Holiday Cordelia Aspinall
What’s that? A day not spent pacing the same five streets and boring your local barista with the same morning coffee order?

Mercifully, London’s easy transport links mean we don’t all have to flock to Margate. From browsing bookshops in trendy Clifton to seaside strolls in Deal, this is your guide to the (lesser-known) London day trips to add to your post-lockdown bucket list.
THE festival has been curated in response to the Thames Estuary and the lives, landscapes and histories found there. A mix of large scale and intimate visual art, literature, music and film, it celebrates culture, creativity, recovery and renewal. Conceived to be enjoyed for free, outdoors and in a COVID-19 secure way, the festival invites visitors to take an epic walk along the stunning shorelines of South Essex and North Kent encountering contemporary artworks, storytelling and performance within the estuary’s landscape, historic sites and coastal towns.
Visitors to the multiple sites across Essex can:
ï Plan an estuary pub crawl to find specially made mirrors in five historic hostelries including the Crooked Billet in the picturesque fishing village of Old Leigh, Barge Gladys on the water at Benfleet Creek, Lobster Smack on Canvey Island, The White Lion at Fobbing and The Worlds End, Tilbury.
