Step on a train and before you’re out of London’s zones you’ll find everything from weird museums to fine dining on a double decker bus. Southeastern takes you out by train to Kent and East Sussex from London terminals including St Pancras and Charing Cross. Here, unexpected pleasures await – galleries, comedy clubs, bars, cafés, restaurants, markets, glorious countryside, lively seafronts and relaxing beaches. All within easy reach of London. Who knew?

Looking for inspiration? Read on!

We’ve asked our writers to come up with their South East highlights to get you thinking and inspire you, and from now until August 24, there’s 20 percent off many standard Southeastern off-peak train tickets when you book online – the perfect excuse to get out and discover more hidden gems for yourselves.

Take a look at their list below.
