Margate, Kent
Londoners have always had a thing for Margate’s golden sands. And, with the vintage pleasure park, “Dreamland” having reopened, the place has only gotten even more crowded. But, even so, there’s plenty of space for everyone and lots more things to do as well.
The kitsch-retro-themed park, with heritage rides, is a must-visit for kids and kids-at-heart. Meanwhile, Margate’s beach, sea and skies are simply amazing. In fact, they’re so beautiful that they’re said to have inspired more than 100 of JMW Turner’s painting. And speaking of JMW Turner, the Turner Contemporary opened up in 2011 right on the seafront.
The place is just booming with activities and space for tourists, with hotels, shops, bars, and restaurants all around.
