🇬🇧 Escape to Hastings & Rye: Hidden Gems South of London

From London Bridge Station, a direct train whisks you to Hastings—😘 a sleepy coastal town in East Sussex that dazzles even under moody skies,❤️ though summer sunlight paints it golden. 🌊 Hastings: A Time Capsule Quiet streets, faded charm, like a Mediterranean daydream washed up on England’s shores. We wandered past vintage shops, half-expecting a 2000s indie soundtrack😊 to start playing. 🚌 Detour to Rye Weekend train repairs meant a slow bus ride, but waiting at Hastings Station felt poetic— leaning into the art of doing nothing. Rye greeted us with cobbled lanes and stories whispered through Tudor beams. Enjoyed the retro slowness here. #EscapeToEngland #SlowTravel #Hastings #Rye #SeasideMagic #LondonWeekend #Wanderlust 🚂🌿
