LJ: Your Opinion!

brigdhThank you for all your advice on London sight-seeing! But now I have another question: if you were going to do a one-day trip from London to somewhere else, where would you go?
Stipulations:
It's going to be this weekend (ie, the 10th and/or 11th of April), so it can't be anything that requires a booking far in advance
It has to be one-day, back in London for sleeping
We're already going to Cardiff in Wales, so don't recommend that (I have to visit the university there for business, so if you know things I should see while in Cardiff, let me know!)
Hopefully not crazy-expensive
Is it better to travel on Saturday or Sunday? I have this impression that more stuff might be closed on Sundays, but I don't know if that's true.
Where else should I visit, LJ?

Date: 2010-04-09 01:18 am (UTC)if you do go to Oxford, and you want a real student pub, as opposed to the touristy silliness that is the Eagle and Child (CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien held Scribblies meetings there) or the other type of touristy silliness that is the King's Arms next door to Wadham (did you know you can stay in the colleges?!? http://bit.ly/9AJrtA ), then head on down Broad St as it becomes Bath Pl, and go through the little archway marked "The Turf" on your right. It's a 13th C. ale house. They pull Greene King there, which is quite drinkable....
