Straight down the M4 to Bath! I think that's about as English as it comes.

You've got to get to the M4 first.

Bath is well worth the extra travel time. Otherwise: Brighton, Winchester (definitely nice there), Totnes, Hastings, Malden, Isle of Wight, Sandbanks.

Another vote for Bath, the traffic is awful and the parking can be manic however, you may be better taking the train if you do want to go to Bath.

Slough tbh.

Croydon is worth a visit also

Cambridge? Might be a push to get there in 2 hours but it's nicer than bath.

Yeah the Garrison town thing was what I was referring to Might be better now, but had a few dodgy nights out when I was at uni there in 2001.

Haha yeah, tbh as long as you stay out of their way and let them get on with beating each other senseless you'll be fine

Still vote Colchester:

Day 1: Go to the castle and spend the day pottering around town
Day 2: Zoo, one of the best Zoos in the country
Day 3: Train to Frinton, walk all the way along to walkton or vice-verson, maybe bike ride?

Maybe go to the theatre one night, normally something on!

Theres quite a lot to do after looking into it, just needs more than £0 which i normally have haha xD

London

 

[Mattus]

Bath is a good option. Really liked it when I was there - pretty relaxed and very scenic.

Luton.

The words 'Luton' and 'nice' should never feature in the same sentence

I've say that Bath and Cambridge are pretty similar really, both have a river going thru, both seem to be pretty popular with tourists, they seem to be a similar size, there's not much in it really.

Cambridge is however closer to Gatwick so it's a good call.

Winchester

London

It has it all so why waste your time going anywhere else.

Bournemouth, on the beach plenty to see and do around the area. Although according to google it is 2hours 2 mins away but I figured they may be wiggle room

this

get yourself to Bournemouth and hope for some late late summer sunshine or autumn sunshine!

 

[Bungee]

Bath

<---

 

[SuperBOB]

Bath/York/Wildcard ...... Plymouth! (Though it will take more than 2 hours )

 

[neilw]

Lyndhurst in the New forest, your near Bournemouth, And Southampton, the latter does not count as a nice english city tho, I know as I live there.

Bath is a good shout, but then again so is winchester. or chichester/arrundel.
