Don’t fancy sitting in traffic for hours, or crammed into a train with no air-con?
Don’t worry Cheapos, a day at the beach is closer (and cheaper) than you think; at Big Penny Social you can get full classic British seaside resort vibes without leaving London.
Welcome to long weekends at Walthamstow-on-Sea. You can bask in the sun, sit in a deckchair and twiddle your toes in the sand, sip on a pint from Camden Town Brewery, an Aperol spritz or frozen cocktail from the beach bar, enjoy a Hackney Gelato ice cream, or sit down with some fish and chips on the beach – all seagull-free and on your doorstep.
