Traveling England + Europe by Train (from London)

I travel all around England and Europe by train, using London as a base. My British friends say I've seen more of the UK than they have! Tired of answering my friends' questions about which cities/ towns/ villages to visit (or not), I decided to share all the information here! (I've always loved reading- which is why I did a Masters in English Literature at the University of St. Andrews- so I cover a lot of UK literary locations here.)

Slow travel for females over 40.

About Zhen

I've been visiting London since I was 4 years old, and even lived in the UK for 11 years. The 1st question my friends always asked me was: where should I go from London? And hence this blog was born. (Although I've now returned to Asia, I still go back to London at least 1-2 times a year.)
