Explore and have fun!

Living in London has its advantages, with many sights to see. However, as a student, you may feel like you need a break from the city from time to time. Going out and exploring different cities and places can be a perfect way to relax and reset, whether that's on your own or with a group of friends. Day trips don't have to put a whole in your wallet either! We've put a list together of your next day trip destinations:

🚂 Before you go:

• Save money: One way to make your day trip cheaper is with a Railcard. This is a must-have for many students anyway, but especially for those who like to explore outside of their student city.
• Travel: Use Trainline to see different train times and schedules to make planning your day away less stressful, and see what trains are available.
