claireduck asked:
I live in central London and would like some good ideas for places to visit by train, anywhere outside of London (but no further than e.g. Cambridge, Brighton), at the weekend, preferably just for one day, i.e. not requiring an overnight stay, but I’ll consider this too. I’m after both romantic destinations for couples, and family days out. Things to do are fine, and so are places that are simply beautiful to visit. If a short taxi ride is required to get from the station to the place of interest that’s fine, but my aim is to find places to visit primarily travelling by train. Thanks!

Oxford – 45 minutes from London Paddington by train
Stratford-Upon-Avon – 1hr 15 minutes by train
both just for the beauty of the archictecture, history etc.
Bath is realy nice.
The Roman baths are there and you can go on a tour through the building and drink the water the say is the elixer of life.
Its really interesting and not that far from London.
I realise its not south east but really great place
Its great for couples as well as families.
