I was thinking of Brighton but would be open to other suggestions. I'm not a museum person unless there's a "once in a lifetime" type exhibit. I enjoy shopping - but with current state of US$, not so much....
Suggestions?
Thanks in advance
Brighton is well worth a day-trip. The Regent's Palace is amazing, the town is full of enjoyable antique shops, and the Pier is good, tacky fun. oxford is only an hour from Paddington by train & is absolutely wonderful: take the circular tour and hang out in the pubs & have a pricey but wonderful lunch at the Cherwell Boat House on the Isis.^
