  • Rochester in Kent makes a great wintery day trip, just 45 minutes from central London with Southeastern Railway.
    With a beautiful high street lined with historic buildings, Rochester Cathedral and Rochester Castle - one of the best-preserved and finest example of Norman architecture in England, there’s plenty of things to see and do.
    It’s also filled with independent stores and hidden gems. There’s Pips of Rochester, a lovely local greengrocers selling local produce, Kiss Kiss Heart and Paloma Studio which sell gorgeous gifts and Dickens House Wine Emporium - a wine store in a building that was once the apothecary where Charles Dickens collected his medicines.
    The food scene in Rochester is also pretty special. Topes is the place for the best food in the town, serving gourmet dishes including pigeon, mackerel and sea bream. Fleur De Thé is a cute tea room / gift shop. It’s super photogenic and wow do they make a good cuppa!
    Another great hidden gem was Playopolis Board Games Café just around the end of the high street. Opened last year, this family run board game café has over 700 board games, plus they serve fun cocktails too including Butterbeer!

    Hi there, I live in Rainham which is about a 10-15 minute car ride or 3 train stops away. I love Rochester especially the night life which is very good when all the pubs are allowed to be open! Next time your down maybe we can hook up and I can show you more of the sights. Take care x

    If you come to Rochester again, let us take you round properly! www.tourguiderochesteruk.co :-) Seriously, enjoyed your video - Topes isn't Topes anymore (things change oh so quickly) - it's called Smoke and Liquor now, taking it's theme from the opening scene in The Mystery of Edwin Drood (which is where the Topes name also came from). And it's less than 45 mins from St Pancras - 32 mins (just checked!) lol!
