St. Albans Cathedral
St. Albans is a great day trip from London. Just 20 minutes from London by train, the city is easy to get to and the short journey allows visitors to maximize their time there.
St. Albans is packed with historical treasures and cultural sites. One of the main highlights is all of the Roman ruins in the city. From the huge city wall to the Verulamium museum, there is no shortage of things to keep lovers of ancient history occupied.
Additionally, the Romanesque-Gothic St. Albans Cathedral attracts visitors from all over the world. It is the oldest place of continuous Christian worship in the UK, and houses stunning art and architecture.
Furthermore, the city has a medieval belfry from the 15th century, a number of historic pubs, and a great market that is held every Wednesday and Saturday.
There is enough to do in St. Albans to keep you busy for a full day. However, if you are only visiting the UK for a short period, St. Albans is a day trip from London that can be done in half a day’s time.
