i am a half day escape, Margate around London half day tour

Take advantage of the spring semester does not start, the day tour around London Margate Margate to arrange! The most beautiful sunset on the East coast, what a piece!

Margate is a pleasant seaside town about an hour and a half from London. Of course, if you want to be special forces, you can visit Canterbury in the morning and take a look at the famous and beautiful but slightly deceptive river, and then transfer to Margate to watch a seaside sunset.

Like most English seaside towns, the small town center is close to the coast, and you can get most of the way with a few songs; After coming out of the railway station along the seaside all the way to the Turner Contemporary Art Museum, it is hard to imagine that a seaside town will have such a museum, although the whole exhibition hall is not big, but the architectural style is unique, the landscape is open, and there are many worth tasting exhibits.




Coming out of the exhibition hall and going around the back, you can see the sculpture standing alone in the sea Another Time; For me, this lonely sculpture full of alienation and fragmentation completely hit me; If the water is so high that you can only see the head of the sculpture sticking out, it is better to go to the beach tavern and sit, and we will come back to see it when the tide goes out later. Winter is not the time to go to the sea, but it is still the most beautiful east coast of the sunset to be speechless, the sun's afterglow falls on the coastline and the sparkling sea, the golden glow is fleeting.


There are a lot of medieval shops in this area, compared to London I think the price is reasonable, you can pick to play, kill time in the afternoon, you can look for jewelry.

There are many small restaurants by the sea, I recommend Dory's to sit down; Dory's is a small and beautiful seafood restaurant, across the road from the beach, recommended to sit by the window view. The restaurant updates the menu for the day according to each ingredient.

The snacks I ordered were all good, but they were salty, so I suggested pairing them with white wine. This small shop also satisfies all my fantasies of a seaside bistro, there are not many people, no noise, the food is good, the wine is good, faces the road and the sea, and the sun pours in through the large French Windows. (Although I love it very much, I still refused to donate at the checkout)

At The Margate Coffee Shed, pumpkin Latteis $3.50, so cheap and tasty.


The sun goes down a little, dragging the tipsy body, we go to see the lonely sculpture; When the tide recedes, the sculpture's full appearance is revealed, and a closer look reveals that the body is covered with green moss and a few stray shells; I walked over to him and stood side by side for a while, trying to get a sense of his state of mind, maybe I felt it, maybe I didn't; He probably just wants to be left alone, and so do I.

However, at that moment, it is good to calm down, and friends who suggest going to stand quietly in the past (although there will be a sense of inexplicable thriller from a distance) everyone said that this sculpture is lonely, I think that the heart of a strong person will not feel lonely, I guess his heart should also be very strong, forever stay in the cold sea water to be a watchman.

Say goodbye to the sculpture and your visit to Margate is over. Catch the nearest train back to London. The energy was collected during the afternoon and returned to the London sea to be expended.
