Great Escapes from London
For Londoners with a busy lifestyle, it's hard to get away even for a day, but Amanda Hyslop spoke
to five different women who regularly do exactly that.
A. Julia Finch is a busy lawyer who loves nature but doesn't get nearly enough of it sitting in her
London office all day, so she often takes advantage of Wisley Garden, only an hour's drive from
Central London. "My favorite thing is that there is always something new to see. The garden
collection has been developing for more than 100 years and far surpasses anything I've ever seen. It's
a lovely, peaceful place for a stroll, and it's so vast that it doesn't get crowded. I get ideas for my own
garden from the great demonstration gardens full of practical ideas and techniques. I can even
incorporate my other favorite hobby of photography by bringing my camera and clicking away. It 's
perfect for a great day out."
B. Jessica Green is a hardworking student who needs a break from the books once in a while, and
makes Brighton her favorite one-day destination. "I love being by the sea, and it's so close to London
that whenever I feel like it, I just jump on a train and in 55 minutes I'm there. Brighton evolved from
a small fishing village into England's most famous seaside resort, and offers all the traditional
attractions, including restaurants, nightlife, miles of sandy beaches and two piers. I always eat at this
great self-service restaurant, which is also modestly priced. My favorite spot, though, is a small strip
of sand under one of the piers, where I can just sit all alone and hear nothing but the sea."
C. Martha Roberts is an architect who enjoys her job so much that her work is also her hobby. "My
favorite piece of architecture to study in my free time is The Royal Pavilion in Brighton. I try to get
some of my co-workers to go with me, since it isn't all that far from London, but they're usually too
busy. The Pavilion was built for King George IV and if ever a building represented the concept of
'over the top', this is it. The pseudo Indian palace, with Chinese-influenced interiors, is a riot of
color, expensive fabrics, crystal and gilt. It's not the sort of style I would ever like in my own house,
but I do find inspiration for my work in everything I look at."
D. Flora Evans, a market analyst, feels she deserves an expensive treat after a busy week, which is
why she often takes time to get away. "I go to Bath to visit my favorite luxury spa and enjoy the
pools, which are fed by Britain's only natural hot springs. Sitting in the pool, with only the soft,
gentle sound of moving water, is the ideal way to relax. And of course, a day of pampering is never
complete without some shopping. Bath is one of the best shopping destinations outside London, with
many specialist shops and a number of antique shops tucked away in the narrow streets. A good
souvenir to buy is hand-blown glass, which takes its blue color from the city's hot springs."
E. Elizabeth Dosset, a sales assistant at a popular department store, happened upon her favorite
destination by accident. "I was on a trip to Stonehenge, but the site was closed and I ended up in the
small market town of Salisbury, just a short distance away. There are not many residents and not
many visitors, either, which is perfect since I need a break from all the people I deal with every day.
I couldn't believe that a market still takes place regularly in the town's market place, just as it has
done since the 13th century. My favorite thing to do is observe the shopkeepers going about their
business and see people running errands or just having some tea. The town is so charming and quaint
that I try to go at least once a month. I wish I could go more often, though."
