Advantages: Fresh air

Disadvantages: Journey

If you live in London and fancy a change for the weekend here are a few places for one day trips.

Go to Victoria station, and go to brighton for the day. It takes about 50 minutes and when you can there you can explore trillions of second hand book shops, unusual shops, go the aquariam, or stroll along the beach.

I know the trains are bad at the second(specially around here), but Hatfield House is a must see. You can get the train from Kings Cross to Hatfield, and the house is located opposite the station, but please check the days when it is open. It is a marvelous gigantic house, which was a favourite with a lot of royalty through out time.
(40 minutes by train)

Maybe try out Southend on sea, it is most accesible from Livepool Street. Build sandcastles, walk along the long pier, Peter Pans playground, candyfloss, fish and chips and lots of tacky bits and bobs.
