Technically, a straight drive from London to Brighton will only take you around two hours. But who wants to take a trip without stopping to smell the roses? Make a day trip out of this journey and let yourself enjoy all the sights that the southern UK has to offer. Go shopping in London, swimming in Brighton, and biking through the hills of South Downs in between. Catch some rays at Kemptown or feed the sheep at Ditchling Beacon. The only limit here is your imagination!
