🇬🇧 Weekend Escape: Two Coastal Gems Near London 🌊✨

A perfect 10AM train ride south from London—first stop Rye, then onward to Hastings. No backtracking, just salt-kissed air and soul-refreshing vibes. 🌿 Rye 🍛 Rye Sushi: Chicken katsu = 😍 (skip the pork—too gamey). 🦉 High Street: Quirky boutiques + rare Jellycats (owl eye masks! rose Westies!) at Penny Royal. 🛖 Mermaid Street: That Insta-famous cobbled lane—quiet as a fairy tale. 🌊 Hastings 🍝 La Cucina: Solid Italian pasta (imported ingredients, friendly staff). 🏹 George Street: York-like charm + Di Pola’s Gelato (must-try!). 🏔️ West Hill: Roll down the emerald lawn, soak in sunset sea views—pure magic. 📸 Where the English Channel whispers secrets to ancient streets. #HiddenUK #WeekendVibes #SeasideTherapy #EscapeLondon
