As the saying goes, if you're tired of London, you’re tired of life. Pretty true, but every now and then, everyone needs to make a break for it. So, if you currently have a case of the reds, may we suggest a trip to the seaside?

To Hastings and St. Leonards-on-Sea to be exact. Discover a world of junk shops, fresh seafood, and designer duds. Oh yeah, there's vintage Chanel to be had — even by the sea.
