A beach in the heart of east London? No, I'm not on drugs and it wasn't a mirage!
I visited Beach East the other day and was very impressed- well, it's only up the road from me so I thought, why not give it a go? Southend and Brighton are both easily accessible from London train stations and can be completed as a day trip (done that, many times) but this is even more local to me.
Setting a beach up in London is a fantastic idea. With white sand, a paddling pool, funfair and a bar for the adults (featuring some lovely cocktails!) this is great fun and it's something that all ages can enjoy.
It was also nice to take a stroll around the Olympic park for the first time. It seemed so clean and modern.
I've been up the Orbit (a freebie thanks to Newham council) but have yet to venture into the stadium (currently being re-modelled) or the Aquatics centre. I will certainly make it my business to check out the latter soon.
