The UK's best seaside town has been crowned - and it's just 90 minutes from London
Briefly

Time Out has named Margate as the top seaside destination for Londoners in 2025, highlighting its transformation into a vibrant creative hub. Easily accessible by train from London, with fares starting from just £12, it offers a mix of cultural attractions, excellent food, and beautiful beaches. Visitors can explore the art scene, enjoy diverse culinary experiences, and participate in events such as Queer Cxntry. Margate's charm combines golden sands with rich history, making it an ideal summer escape from the city.
Chiara Wilkinson, Time Out's deputy editor, said: 'Once a sleepy coastal town, [Margate is] now a cool creative hotspot - it's even (dare we say it) deserving of its new nickname, 'Hackney on sea'.
Londoners can get to Britain's finest coastal destination for as little as £12. One-way prices start from just £12, so how could you resist?
