In the ‘good old’ days, the traditional British day out used to involve a trip to the seaside. Mum and Dad, together with the grandparents would gather up the kids and drive off for a day on the beach that often involved tired-looking donkeys, deformed sandcastles and that never-ending stick of rock. Nowadays, there are so many other options with Red Letter Days for a fun day out in Britain at any time of the year.
London really is the king of days out in the UK. Fancy enjoying the most stunning birds-eye-view of the city? Climb aboard a helicopter for a sightseeing tour with a difference with a view of the capital’s iconic landmarks - the unique sensation of going up in a helicopter isn’t too bad either! For visitors who’d rather keep their feet on the ground, a Thames cruise is perfect. Sit back, tuck into a tasty lunch and marvel at the surrounding architecture as you glide past the best of what London has to offer in pure comfort and luxury.
End the day in London’s famous West End for dinner and a trip to the theatre to witness one of the most spectacular performances on the planet, from Queen’s ‘We Will Rock You’ to the phenomenon of ‘Phantom of the Opera’. What more could you ask for? Despite masses of coffee shops forever springing up on every High Street, the traditional British cup of tea is fighting back. Nothing is more British than a spot of afternoon tea. With traditional English cream teas, finger sandwiches, fancy pastries and more available, this will always be our national drink - and rightly so.
Red Letter Days are making the British day out fun again, so get involved with a break in the capital or an afternoon spent enjoying our favourite English pastime.
