On Sunday we went to catch the train to Whitstable from Victoria. We missed it by 2 minutes due to insane queues at the station. I was rather disappointed and on top of it one of the rail workers told us that we should have just bought tickets on the train. I was upset. Had to wait for another hour at the nasty Victoria Station on a hot summer day.
We got to Whitstable just in time for lunch. It was whitebait and chips with some really nice local beer (I am usually very healthy when it comes to food but cannot resist chips on the beach).
Followed by a long walk on the beach. They have some pretty houses and huts there. I want one!
We ended up at the Old Neptune pub and enjoyed the views for few hours.
Whitstable is a very picturesque place with amazingly cheap oysters, at £0.40 per piece and as fresh as they come. Perfect place for a day trip.
love Whitstable… we’re going to take a day trip soon… is August soon??
very soon, time flies! such a pretty place and only 1.15 from london
I’ve missed that train a few times myself, I think there’s a bit of a connections clash at Victoria.
All worth it though for a pint at the Old Neptune
