8 hours on a plane is a day wasted but nowhere 2 hours away is warm enough or far enough for me to really feel like I’m on holiday. So, where I ask myself is the best holiday destination from London and other parts of UK for us Brits?
The ideal flight time for me is 4-5 hours and looking on the world map, there are a host of warm, luxurious and relaxing destinations within that flying time. Shame, none of the travel companies like Best at Travel, Kuoni, Virgin Holidays, Letsgo2 or Holiday Hypermarket ever consider that. You end up searching these sites for hours with a highly confused state of mind. Having been through this, I decided to post a little research for those facing the same dilemma as me.
So, which are the best Holiday destinations for people flying from the UK?
This listing will help you find your next holiday.
First, where do us Brits go most on holiday? I went through some search records on Google and found the following:
Top Holiday Destinations (by number of travellers from UK every year)
1. Spain holidays Since Spain is the most popular holiday destination for us Brits with over a million searches a month, I’ve divided Spain into regions to fully calculate its popularity.
- Majorca holidays – Majorca or Mallorca is heaven. I’ve been there myself. With a vibrant nightlife and amazing scenic views and beaches, this largest of all Spanish island tops Spanish holiday charts with over 300,000 monthly searches for Majorca alone. If you’re looking for a party place or an opportunity to be in the quiet surrounded by nature, Majorca is your best bet.
- Tenerife holidays – Tenerife is the largest of the 7 canary Islands in the Atlantic ocean. Just off the coast of Morocco, Africa, this Spanish territory commands the status of one of the most popular tourist destinations around the world. As they say, the place where spring never ends, Tenerife is the highest point of Spain with its Mount Teide volcano. The temperature averages 20 degrees celcius throughout the year and is considered to be the best in the world by many. 320,000 searches online every month.
- Gran Canaria holidays – Also one of the seven canary islands, the Gran Canaria is the second largest and second most populated after Tenerife. Volcanic in nature, The Gran Canaria offers a unique natural experience, with fissure vents, different soil and vegetation. The Gran Canaria is famous for its family holidays and is full of well appointed resorts. 180,000 monthly searches.
- Ibiza holidays – Ibiza is a beautiful little Spanish island located in the Mediterranean sea that has become hugely popular as a holiday top spot in the last 35 years. What makes Ibiza special is the extended coast line of sandy beaches, a chilled out way of life and seclusion. As all Spanish holidays, Ibiza town will offer you a buzzing nightlife and for those looking for peace and quiet, there are plenty of resorts surrounded by nature and tranquility. 135,000 searches per month.
- Other notable Spanish holiday destinations – With a 100,000 British people searching for holiday packages in Benidorm, this is the 5th most popular Spanish holiday destination followed by Costa del Sol at 60,000 searches and Lanzarote (another beautiful canary island) with 55,000 searches. Recommended – Spain holidays
If you haven’t yet experienced a Spanish holiday, you haven’t yet been on your best holiday. Majorca alone gets 2.5 million British holiday makers a year and 2008 was a record high.

London has something for everyone. It has lush green parks, great stores, many many historic sites, fine dining and so much more. London is also very big. It’s huge. A little advanced planning will go a long way to making your trip a success.
The first thing to realize is there is no way to see the whole of London in a day, or two or even a week. The length of time you have to visit will determine how you visit things. If you only have a day taking a bus tour will let you see the sites but you will not be able to really appreciate them. If you have a longer time the subway and a good guide book will let you savor the experience.
Getting around London on the subway or underground is the easiest thing in the world. Find out what station you’re at and which station is closest to your destination. The best way to do that is with a book called “London A-Z”. You can find it at news
stand. Once you know where you are and where you’re going, figure out the direction. Most underground lines go in two directions from a given station. There are also large signs showing the stops on that line from your station to the final station.
Money in London is not an issue. Most places take the major credit cards and the cash machines take Interact. I usually withdrew enough money for a day or two to avoid using plastic. Prices in London are pretty reasonable. Save money by not
eating or buying things near really popular tourist destinations such as the British Museum. Prices are much more expensive.
Expect to get a pretty good work out. You can do a lot of walking. You’ll do a lot more if you get lost! Before leaving invest in a good pair of shoes and make sure they’re broken in. A small day pack with a bottle of water and a rain jacket will make your day much more enjoyable.
There are so many things to see. Rather than describe each one in detail, here are a few of the places I most enjoyed visiting:
The British Museum
The British Library
The Tower of London
Hyde Park (Speakers Corner)
221B Baker St
In summary, get a good map, get good shoes and be prepared. A little advanced
planning and thought will make your trip to London a very enjoyable experience.

Ready to go on holiday in the queen’s city with much cash in your kitty? There is no reason why you wouldn’t want to stay out of the ordinary in your choice of hotel to lodge as long as you can afford it. I am here to provide you with some of the unusual hotel types you are going to come across in the city of London for a pleasurable holiday. Let’s go!
When it comes to unusual hotel types available in the London metropolis, you will come across a variety. One of the varieties are boutique hotels. Boutique hotels in London, such as 54 Boutique, are the kinds of hotels with very unique environments, extremely luxurious facilities all wrapped up in the provision of personalized services, facilities, and accommodation to every guest in remarkably unique ways that are different from what is obtainable elsewhere. The kind of environment available here is intimate to give room for suitability as regards honeymooners. These London hotels also classify themselves as resort hotels because they create a trade that is captive. What do I mean by resort hotels? Resort hotels in London are those whose real purpose of existence is the attraction of a certain category of people to a specific attraction that the hotel provides. An example of such an attraction is casinos which is a hotel that is built for the purpose of holiday makers who are casino lovers.
Railway hotels in London are another unusual London hotels that you are going to encounter in the city. You can go into the hotel if you have a reason to travel by rail, since the target market of this kind of hotels in London are those who travel by rail. However, people who are simply interested in lodging at London hotels like this are warmly welcome, regardless of their means of travel to the location of the hotel. There is a particular type of this London hotel situated above St. Pancras railway station in London. Another one can be found above Baker’s Street tube station.
Motels are also unusual because you can lodge in them for few hours and pay for the number of hours of stay. You will find them built near major roads, an example of which is All seasons London Leyton, an economy hotel that is appealing to both business and leisure guests. Due to the metropolitan nature of London city, some people might be in need of a hotel accommodation for a period of time lesser than a day; London motels are the kind of lodging facility which meet such needs.
Visiting London opens to you a variety of hotels more than what has been considered in this article, it is your responsibility to choose which is most suitable for you. Do enjoy your stay in whichever London hotel you settle for.
