After London, we recommend a visit to the North. Liverpool and Manchester are two Northern powerhouses with eclectic cultural hotspots. In Liverpool, check out all the Beatles memorabilia on Matthew Street, especially in Cavern Club where the band once performed. Alternatively, Manchester’s Northern Quarter is home to a great nightlife scene, with Albert Schloss and Escape to Frieght Island nearby.
To stay relatively close to London, both Brighton and Birmingham are only a short train ride away. In summertime, Brighton’s beaches are the place to be, whereas a trip during another season might be best-suited to Birminghams city life.
