🌊Day Trip from London | A Relaxing Weekend in Hastings

“The hustle and bustle of London is blown away by the sea breeze here.” Many international students have probably visited the White Cliffs, the famous filming location for *Atonement*, but when it comes to seaside towns, **Hastings** takes the crown. Sipping elderflower sparkling wine at a beachside bar, I suddenly understood the romance Jane Austen described—"the sea breeze carries a trembling, heart-fluttering romance." 🌸🍷 🚇 **From London, take a direct train (1.3 hours)**: **Charing Cross → Hastings** 🎫 No need to rush to buy train tickets—you can purchase the closest available ticket at Charing Cross. ⭕️ **How to buy tickets**: Use **TrainPal**. Even on weekends, there are plenty of tickets left, so you can adjust based on your schedule. If you’re planning a round trip, I recommend buying an **open return ticket**, so you can take any train back on the same day. 🚆🎟️ 🚶‍♀️ **One-Day Itinerary for the Town** 1️⃣ **Depart London at 12 PM → Arrive at Hastings Station around 1:40 PM**. The station is small but has restrooms and vending machines. ⚠️ Keep your ticket safe—there are ticket checks during the ride, and you’ll need it to exit the station. 2️⃣ **Walk 9 minutes from the station to the beach** 🌊. It’s a pebble beach, very clean, and you can sit anywhere. You might even find some pretty seashells! On a nice day, you’ll see people boating 🚣‍♀️. 3️⃣ **Stroll along the coastal path for 19 minutes to George Street**, the heart of the seaside town. Here, you’ll find cafes, restaurants, and shops. Most are small, locally-owned stores, with many selling crystals and beautiful jewelry. 💎✨ 🦐 **Seafood Restaurant Recommendation**: **La Bella Vista**—£30-40 per person, with a **9.7 Google rating**! It’s an Italian restaurant by the sea, so you can enjoy your meal with a view. 🌊🍴 🦪 The **oysters** are small but incredibly fresh, especially with their special sauce—light and delicious. 🍕 Their **pizza** is a must-try! I love a strong salami flavor, and theirs hits the spot perfectly. 🍝 The **prawn pasta** was a bit bland for my taste, but the prawns were fresh and flavorful! I regret not having time to hike up the hill for a full view of the town, but this relaxing day made the air feel soft and gentle, temporarily forgetting about deadlines. After dinner, I wandered along the beach, enjoying the symphony of the waves 🎵. #DayTripsFromLondon #LifeByTheSea #London #TravelGuide #MyLife #RestaurantRecommendations #OneDayTrip
