3 days in London

3 days For everyone Built from visitor-rated places

♥ Save as my trip

This is a three-day escape that uses London as its springboard rather than its stage. You'll spend your time on the city's leafy fringes, where old houses sit in quiet grounds and the pace slows the moment you leave the ring road behind. Think handsome frontages, long views, and the sort of days that reward an unhurried start.

The shape is deliberately varied: two gentle, heritage-led mornings and afternoons to begin, a second day that swings from calm countryside to full-throttle family fun at Chessington World of Adventures, then a final day that pairs a private-feeling estate with something rather more unexpected beneath the ground at Hatfield Bunker. Pack comfortable shoes, a waterproof you can stuff in a bag, and leave a little room in the schedule — the best bits here tend to be the ones you linger over.

Day 1

An easy opener: settle into Dorney Court in the morning, then drift across to Taplow Court for the afternoon, leaving plenty of time between the two so neither feels rushed.

Day 2

Start slow and green at Beaverbrook, then shift gear entirely for an afternoon at Chessington World of Adventures — a day of two very different moods, so dress for both.

Day 3

Round things off with a peaceful morning at Childwickbury Manor before heading underground at Hatfield Bunker, where a jumper is wise whatever the weather above.
