5 days agoThe massively underrated 'Venice of England' that is the best weekend trip from London in 2026
Birmingham is ranked as the best weekend break destination from London, offering diverse activities and attractions.
Even though it's a small country, for various reasons I've found myself visiting this landlocked European destination on multiple occasions. It's a business and political hub, so work trips to Luxembourg are common, but I also find it a pleasant tourist city too. The aforementioned flight from London takes less than an hour and if you depart from London City Airport you can breeze through security in less than 5 minutes. Seriously, I timed it and that number is actually on the high side.
