Londoners' backyard: Stroll along the tranquil Folkestone promenade

Although located in Kent, Folkestone is only an hour's train ride from London, making it a weekend haven for Londoners seeking a getaway from the hustle and bustle. Start at St. Pancras Station, reach Folkestone Central Station, and follow the signs for the city center until you reach Folkestone's seafront promenade. Take a leisurely stroll along the beach. You'll see a mermaid sculpture at the beginning, and along the way, enjoy a quiet 40-minute stroll, listening to the cries of seagulls and the crashing of waves. Follow the beach or boardwalk until you see a few carts selling burgers and alcohol, which will lead you to the front gate of Folkestone Harbour. #LondonAttractions #SignUpHotelTester2025
