"First, wrap up warm, pick up a steaming coffee or hot chocolate and go on a bracing walk down Margate beach, which is blissfully empty this time of year. Once you've got the sea air in your lungs, we recommend heading for the Turner Contemporary Gallery (one of the UK's best modern art galleries) on the seafront. It's free and is nice and quiet during the winter months, so you can really take your time."
"Afterwards, stop by Buoy & Oyster to feast on fish and chips or a hearty Sunday roast while staring out over the starkly beautiful winter seascape, or grab a warming pint of real ale at cosy, CAMRA-lauded micropub The Two Halves. And there you have it, a perfect winter's day by the coast. If Margate doesn't fit your idea of a good day out from London, perhaps you'll like this blockbuster film studio or this luxurious spa instead."
Margate sits just under two hours by train from London and offers a compact winter coastal escape. The beach is blissfully empty in winter and ideal for brisk, restorative walks. The Turner Contemporary, located on the seafront, is free and quiet during winter and currently features exhibitions by Bridget Riley and Simone Leigh. Food and drink options include Buoy & Oyster for fish and chips or a Sunday roast and The Two Halves micropub for CAMRA-lauded real ale. Northdown Road in Margate is highlighted as one of the coolest streets for 2025, adding urban charm to the seaside visit.
