God bless the Gower. With its gorgeous moors and vast swathes of smooth sand, the Welsh peninsula is as divine now as it was in ’56 when it became the UK’s first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. What took them so long? Not to worry, we all know the Gower is gorgeous.  The best things to do in the Gower Peninsula understandably focus on nature, and the people of this stunning spot have perfected the art of bringing nature to the hum of modern life. That means excellent restaurants, great pubs and more adventure than most can handle. Dylan Thomas was inspired by the Gower, and you will be too.   

Ever get wanderlust? That sense of wanting to find somewhere completely new to travel? There’s a hell of lot to see and do out there – so why visit the same old places on holiday when you could be discovering somewhere totally new? Whether you’re looking for new urban adventures in some of the best cities in the world, or lesser-travelled gems to visit before the secret slips out, we’ve rounded up the most exciting, up-and-coming, and downright best holiday destinations you need to check out right now. From celebrating the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall to exploring Asia’s most LGBTQ+ friendly city and discovering adrenaline-pumping sports in an otherworldly sinkhole in Mexico, these are the 2019 holiday destinations you simply must visit.

Finding a safe place to visit is important for any traveller: a destination where you can feel secure and relaxed and still have all the fun. But where are the safest countries in the world? We’ve trawled through reams of data to find out. From peace and security statistics and rankings to reports on how tolerant countries are to other cultures and minorities, as well as local crime figures, traveller surveys and our own Time Out Index, we’ve done the reading to find you the most beautiful, amazing, inspiring and safest places in the world, where everyone’s free to be themselves. It’s no surprise that Nordic countries scored highly – from cosy, happy Denmark, to gender-equality champion Iceland – while Singapore came out as a top destination for solo travellers. Canada and Portugal provide safe travels for LGBTQ+ visitors, while you’ll find safety in nature in Chile. So here’s where you can max out on fun and feel safe while doing it.

Panama City feels both familiar and foreign: a little like Miami and a little like Havana. On the surface, it looks a lot like the US, with the tall skyscrapers of the new city a familiar reminder of American influence here. But at the same time, Panama City etches out its own identity. It’s a place of pretty little secrets, creation, community and electric nightlife – all tucked away in the alleys of an eclectic Central American metropolis.  It’s a little bit gritty, Panama City has pockets that feel entirely foreign, and everyone everywhere will tell you about how the traffic is crazy – it is. Stay in Casco Viejo (the historic district) and you’ll have the best chance at exploring this intricate, multi-dimensional destination. Done something on this list and loved it?

Swim between Greek islands Strap on a pair of fins for open-water swimming in one of five Greek locations with SwimTrek. Swim up to 5km a day round the dramatic cliffs and isolated beaches of Crete; explore sea caves, tunnels and the Princess of Dubai shipwreck off Milos’s volcanic coastline; splash round the 24-island archipelago of Sporades; dive into the Aegean waters between the Cyclades; or check out the marine life in the Ionian Sea. In between, when you’re not hanging out on a yacht or the beach, get to know quiet Greek villages, eat in authentic restaurants and sleep in laid-back locally owned hotels. Do yoga with beer (or goats) in Oregon Eating virtuously is no problem in Portland, one of the world’s most vegan-friendly cities. Plant-based plates are easy to come by, not least at fine-dining vegan joint Farm Spirit, which focuses on natural simplicity. Here, rather than meat substitutes, fresh veg are the stars. But life isn’t always #eatclean in Portland: Yoga + Beer holds 75-minute classes in breweries across the city, starting with yoga and ending with a cold one. It also offers outdoorsy ‘detox + retox’ retreats involving craft beer, yoga and stand-up paddleboarding in Bend. But if by healthy, you mean booze-free, there’s always a Goat Yoga session in Corvallis – a vinyasa class where goats jump on you and make you work extra hard by knocking you off balance.   Train with ex-cons in New York Head to New York City for high-intensity, prison-style workouts with s

From the epic natural beauty of Canada - celebrating its 150th birthday this year - to just-opening-up destinations like Bhutan and Myanmar, we pick the best places to visit around the globe in 2017. Whether you're after affordable city breaks or long-haul adventures, we've got you covered.

This is a second location for Blok, the edgy studio that incorporates food and art into its fitness space. The concrete-meets-steel space where Shoreditch meets the City, on the ground floor of Norman Foster-designed Principal Place, could be mistaken for a swanky gallery. In fact, we did mistake it for a gallery on our first visit – thanks to a framed series of black-and-white photography on the walls, visible from outside, of some absolute fitties, who definitely look like they do the HIIT classes here. Other than HIIT, there are the usual pilates, yoga, barre and cardio sessions, plus a whole load of slightly more unusual choices such as sparring, calisthenics, BLOKbeat (with dancing) and BLOKparty (with strobe lighting). The three workout rooms are stripped-back, urban-style spaces with linear strip lighting, while the café does a good post-workout smoothie, plus wraps, snacks and salads, with on-trend ingredients – think turmeric, matcha and activated walnuts. There’s also a selection of high-end clothing and Malin + Goetz products for sale. And it all adds up to make it one of the coolest gyms out there.

It’s the end of the world! So go dance yourself into oblivion at the latest show by Some Voices, with dramatic pop-choral reinventions of tracks by Prince, Bjork and Bowie sung by the 800-strong choir. After sell-out shows ‘Romeo and Juliet’ at The Troxy, and ‘Studio 54’ at Printworks, this time round it’s the new millennium, but the world’s been plunged into a ‘Black Mirror’-style world of darkness. Only Some Voices – plus their live band and DJ – can save our souls, one track at a time at the ultimate end of the world party. 

Caravan began as a quiet Exmouth Market breakfast heaven, before upsizing to a bigger industrial King’s Cross flagship in an old warehouse, before opening a third branch in a former factory in Bankside. Caravan City is the fourth link in the chain – this time veering in a slightly off-brand, corporate direction with a shiny, glass-fronted space in the new Bloomberg Arcade building. The food, though, is very much on-brand, with loosely Antipodean, internationally-minded favourites in large-and-small-plate form, beautifully presented. Here, too, they’ve made a bigger deal of salads – including raw and fermented plates – and a few new riffs on their pizzas, veggie dishes and brunches. It was unusually packed when I visited on a Square Mile Sunday afternoon – possibly why the service wasn’t as slick as it could have been, although staff were warm and knowledgeable. Once it arrived – a fairly long wait and one accidental pork belly delivery later – my aubergine purée with poached eggs and sumac yoghurt was rich and creamy, singing with zingy preserved lemon gremolata and grounded by bass notes of merguez sausage on the side. Another dish, of baked eggs, was spiced, well balanced and pleasantly warming – warmer than the just-lukewarm cappuccino (c’mon guys – coffee’s your thing!). We had to chase down our waitress for dessert, but that was forgotten by the time it arrived – a fluffy, homely ginger cake, beautifully pimped with hibiscus-poached pear and boozy rum syrup. The star pla

Like the rock ’n’ rolL rebel anthem it shares a name with, Louie Louie – sat halfway along staunchly ungentrified Walworth Road – is a maverick. Located among an Iceland, bookies and payday loan shops, it stands defiant with white tables, angular wine glasses and flat whites, serving up small plates and cocktails to a soundtrack of vinyl until 1am on weekends. It’s the bigger, bolder spin-off of community café Fowlds, down the road towards Camberwell in a working furniture upholsterer’s. The Tel Aviv-born guest-chef-in-residence Oded Oren (fresh from a pop-up last year at Bethnal Green’s Oval Space) specialises in veg-based plates complemented by charcoal-cooked meats and seafood. A headily tangy fermented feta with a glug of olive oil and big florets of wild oregano set the bar high. Zingy bream and hake kebabs could’ve been crispier, but fresh rocket and spicy Libyan chraime sauce rounded it off well. Nutty roasted freekeh had a little bite, and worked great with the other dishes, though there could’ve been a few more of the deliciously buttery jerusalem artichokes in there. But these are minor gripes: ingredients were at peak freshness, and the predominantly Israeli and Middle Eastern plates had some well-executed, not-at-all-naff fusion touches. The smooth, raw texture of a citrusy sashimi sea bass struck a balance with just the right amount of herby tabbouleh salad – and was animated with a few hunks of red chilli and a generous squeeze of lime. The melty five-hour brais

What’s this? A former Deptford supper club taking permanent residence in a railway arch? Sounds like textbook hip-restaurant gold to me. The compact space is set up to be just that: think exposed bricks, glowing tealights, the occasional theatrical flame from an open kitchen and cocktails with herbs in (as I say, textbook). It’s lovely and buzzy, yet relaxed. Of the booze, a rosemary-infused, sweet-sharp and syrupy grapefruit G&T was beautifully balanced and as good as it got. Foodwise, chicken, chorizo and manchego parcels were generously meaty, while ricotta and leek bruschetta worked well flavourwise but were bread-heavy and topping-light. A chewy rump steak and red pepper masala with coconut and cardamom rice – although piled high – had a student cookbook vibe, and didn’t justify the £14 price tag. Dessert, a white chocolate mousse with a digestive-like crumble and fresh raspberries, was the same: good, but something you could knock up at home. Even the cosy vibe became trying when my friend had to get up and ask for their dessert. Which is a shame, because Dirty Apron otherwise nails it on atmosphere. Next time, I’ll stick to the drinks.

Carnaby Street may get all the attention, but Newburgh Street was once home to the shop credited with kickstarting the ’60s fashion revolution. ‘Vince’ was the pseudonym of photographer Bill Green, and his shop of the same name (which opened in 1954) specialised in risqué images of the male physique when homosexuality was still illegal. It also sold skimpy, flamboyant garments for the lads that provided an alternative to drab post-war suits, and became popular with a predominantly gay clientele. One of Vince’s sales assistants, John Stephen, went on to dress The Beatles, The Kinks, Jimi Hendrix and The Rolling Stones. Vince kicked off the sartorial tradition in this bit of the West End, which has since become known as a hotbed of subcultural fashion. Punks, mods, skinheads and new romantics all clustered here, and although London’s alternative side has been more or less banished from Zone 1 by now, this corner of Soho is still known for indie fashion stores, lifestyle boutiques and experimental street styles. So if the chains on Carnaby Street aren’t for you, pace the villagey cobbles of Newburgh Street and discover, behind its stylish shopfronts, a wealth of heritage labels, offbeat emporia and low-key foodie pitstops. And look out for Vince’s green plaque at number 5. Drink this A post shared by Tye Rutherford (@papatye) on Nov 14, 2017 at 6:03pm PST Friday pints on the cobbles outside the White Horse.

It’s no wonder Scandinavians have a bit of a rep for being a healthy bunch – they have some of the best grub going. And now a taste of that Scandi diet is making its way to the capital for The Great Nordic Feast. As part of Nordic Matters – the Southbank Centre’s year-long celebration of arts and culture from Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Iceland and Finland – top chefs are coming to cook for Londoners. Among the line-up of Scandi cooking greats hosting creative culinary talks and dining experiences are Titti Qvarnström (Sweden’s first female head chef to win a Michelin star) and Icelandic star chef Ylfa Helgadottir, who’ll be flying in just for the event. And ‘The Great British Bake Off’ 2010 winner Edd Kimber will be bringing his take on Scandinavian baked treats to the table too. Forget the slipper-socks and ‘staying in’ message of British-appropriated hygge. This Nordic blow-out is about eating, sharing and meeting new people (but mostly eating).  Tina Stafren In a series of meals across the weekend, you can chow down on a Nordic breakfast – served the traditional way, as a smörgåsbord – or a packed dinner of the chefs’ signature dishes. Fill up on Nordic falafel with green peas and onion, Greenlandic halibut and charcoal-grilled reindeer with lingonberry salsa. And there’ll be plenty of fresh Scandi breads to go around, too. Arrive hungry: leave as plump and happy as a Moomin.  What is it… A weekend-long food fest full of slap-up Nordic meals.

Good old Berm, with its working-class roots, its foodie rep and its penchant for craft beer in railway arches and high-proof cocktails in Victorian basements. If you’re not lucky enough to live or work round here, you’ll want to visit so you can eat well and get sauced. And Bermondsey Street is at the centre of it all. In earlier centuries, Bermondsey was big on food production (being near the Thames, where the imports came in) as well as leatherwork and tanning. Now on Bermondsey Street you’re more likely to find pitted olives, media types, design studios and street art. The swanky, glass-fronted destination restaurants (some with history-nodding names like Tanner & Co) are as big a draw as the street’s booming drinks micro-scene, which spills into boozy brunches on mornings after. But although it’s fond of a drink or six, Bermondsey Street isn’t a 3am warzone like Shoreditch: its bars are classily laidback and interspersed with pretty old churches and green spaces. Its villagey vibe is especially apparent at the annual Bermondsey Street Festival, run every September by community volunteers, offering street food, live music, maypole dancing and a dog show. It’s not at all what you’d expect in the shadow of The Shard.

‘Monmouth Street has still remained the burial-place of the fashions,’ Charles Dickens proclaimed in ‘Sketches by Boz’, ‘and such, to judge from all present appearances, it will remain until there are no more fashions to bury.’ That was in 1836, but if Chuck D could see it today, he’d have to eat his words. Monmouth Street is now about 70 percent fashion and beauty boutiques – most of them independent, all of them great. The rest of this axis of Seven Dials is mostly for the foodies, with non-chain restaurants, cafés and shops selling all kinds of edible treats plus the street’s namesake caffeine mecca Monmouth Coffee. The first sundial pillar at Seven Dials, right in the middle of Monmouth Street, had to be demolished in June 1773 because London mobs used it as a meeting place. At the time it was one of the most dangerous streets in London, with a reputation for petty crime and murder. The area provided inspiration for William Hogarth’s famous engraving ‘Gin Lane’, a depraved street scene full of gin-fuelled Londoners causing mayhem.  Today, cobbled streets and listed buildings remain, and, with the mobs long gone, the sundial was rebuilt in 1989. The vibe is now indie haven in the West End. Oh, and we could totally imagine Dickens picking out a chic greyscale wardrobe in French-inspired boutique LOFT Design By.

1. ‘Of course it’s London’ The north Londoner is always saying silly things about how south London isn’t really London. Obviously it is. The clue is in the name. But it is different. ‘Open your mind beyond the tube map,’ says the south Londoner. ‘There is a magical place where trains go to stations above the ground, and those trains have windows that you can see blue sky out of. Well, grey sky. They come at least every ten minutes. And they’re usually running absolutely fine. Except out of London Bridge – in which case, good luck.’ 2. ‘South London is sooooooo green’ Maybe because they’re constantly being disparaged for having no tube and therefore no fun, south Londoners love nothing more than being smug about their rolling green acres. North may have the famous parks – with their Dutch tulip gardens, statue of Peter Pan and free-roaming peacocks – they argue, but south wins on sheer quantity and general awesomeness. After all, when was the last time you saw a lumpy iguanodon in Hyde Park? 3. ‘Come to my birthday drinks – it’s really not that far’ As every south Londoner knows, there’s one day of the year when they can make all their friends travel anywhere south of the river to buy them a bunch of drinks, no questions asked. Naturally, they make the most of it. So this year, it’s a few cheeky pints in Penge followed by dancing to shit R&B in a dingy club that’s a £35 Uber trip away from anywhere.
 Just because they can. 4. ‘The fun stuff is there. You just have to look har

1. ‘It’s all gangs down there, isn’t it?’ The north Londoner thinks the south Londoner must be really street, because things get scary down there. Maybe the south Londoner knows kung fu or keeps a knuckleduster under her bed? No, wait, she must have struck a deal with the local postcode crew. The north Londoner’s never been further south than Borough Market, where they once saw someone make off with someone else’s artisan cheese. The horror! 2. ‘We have this thing called “the tube”’ The north Londoner treats the south Londoner like an arrival from a remote Amazonian village. The unfortunate south Londoner, they think, hasn’t heard of the tube, let alone been on one, so they must be guided through life in the big, bad city – ushered away from the tourist traps and led to the decent pop-ups. Next they’ll be asking the south Londoner if they have an indoor loo. 3. ‘It’s just so far’ For some, it’s terrifying to leave the cosy clutches of ‘proper London’ – with its Big Ben, readily available chain coffee shops and reliable transport links – and venture south. ‘S’ postcodes are so frightening, the north Londoner may physically lash out when forced to attend the birthday of someone who lives south of the river. It can get pretty messy. But they’re always over it by the time the cake arrives. 4. ‘I went to Frank’s once’ The north Londoner once took an Overground train to Peckham Rye to drink Campari and admire the sunset from the roof of a certain car park. Now, whenever they hear

The joy of the bustling Walworth Road lies in the fact that despite being so close to the centre of London it has somehow – so far – managed to avoid full-blown gentrification and Starbucksification. Now on regeneration round two – having already been spruced up in the ’60s – it has managed to preserve its rough-round-the-edges charm, probably thanks to the fact that the area has such strong working-class roots.  Once called home by Michael Caine and Charlie Chaplin, Walworth Road runs south from the newly facelifted Elephant & Castle roundabout with its fancy flats and dodgy shopping centre (whose days are numbered), almost as far as sprawling Burgess Park, with its tennis courts, fishing lake and barbecue area. It’s a brilliantly diverse drag: spit-and-sawdust pubs next to Ghanaian restaurants, tailors next to Caribbean bakeries, plus it has an excellent 24-hour Turkish supermarket. Council blocks stand beside newbuilds, while polished Victorian terraces line many of the leafy side streets.Among the betting shops and the £5 neon bodycon dresses, there are artists’ studios, welcoming neighbourhood restaurants and places where you can get a decent mani or pedi for a tenner. It might be on the cusp of gentrification, but right now the Walworth Road is real London – in all its diverse, grubby glory.

      1. The backhanded complimenter Tim’s habit of leaving teabags all over the kitchen is very annoying. But because Dave kept complimenting Tim about his domesticity, he thought Dave found it endearing. ‘Who knew your room would be so tidy!’ Dave said with a smile. ‘You are so creative in the kitchen. I could smell that balti for days.’ Then one day Tim comes home to find three months’ worth of fetid teabags piled up in his room with a note saying ‘A gift from the teabag fairy’. 2. The fast walker in a crowd Jane’s got a beef with all those people milling about like they’ve got nowhere to be. If only it were socially acceptable to punch them in the backs of their heads, then they’d know how annoying they were being. Someone steps on Jane’s foot. They apologise profusely, but that unspeakable rage bubbles up insider her. She grimaces, eyes wide, and forces an unhinged smile, then mouths ‘It’s okay.’ Of course she’s not going to show it – she’s British.   3. The refusenik bus driver It’s raining and Sarah’s late. The 176 has just pulled away from the stop, but thanks to heavy traffic it’s halted again five feet away. Thank you, universe! But John the driver’s having none of it. As Sarah knocks on the glass – wind and rain ravaging her flimsy umbrella – pulling her best ‘please let me on the bus’ face, John almost looks at her. Almost. Then he turns away and stares dead ahead. She can bang on the glass all she likes, but this is one man’s passive revenge for years of grumpy

So what if its name sounds a bit rude? This is the posh bit of Peckham, so the less said about that the better. Away from the edgy art car parks, chicken shops and all-night pool halls, Bellenden Road has become the jewel in the weave of now-trendy Peckham. It should be called Peckham Village, really, for its fancy dining spots, boutiques selling gifts and homewares, and indie grocery shops. Even its convenience store and offie now has a fancy awning that proudly reads ‘Village Grocer’. Community is king here: taped up on windows along the residential end of the road are home-printed post-Brexit signs reading ‘Bellenden Road is a racism-free zone’ and ‘Bellenden Road is proud to be diverse’. If Rye Lane is for art students fuelled by handbag-stashed Red Stripe, then Bellenden Road is for their older siblings who just want a decent flat white with their Sunday papers. But don’t think that means it’s not as creative as the rest of Peckers: the ‘We Love Peckham’ mosaic murals were created by artist Tom Phillips, as were the lampposts. Antony Gormley had a studio here in the 2000s, and he designed the cast-iron bollards still standing along the road, which caused quite the stir when people said they looked like something rude.
