Description:
No wonder this is London’s most popular seaside resort. It has the world’s longest pleasure pier at 1.3miles (don’t worry – there is a train for the less energetic) and the Adventure Island fun park with more than 40 rides and attractions. Younger visitors can enjoy the soft play experience at Kids’ Kingdom, while the Sea Life aquarium will inspire awe in all the family. At night things light up – literally. Stay to see the Seafront Illuminations.
