Good places around London?

Hi Rhiannon thanks for your suggest. It looks like bath and Cambridge are the two places I wanna spend some time checking out after London. Northern whales sounds fantastic but seem to be a little further easy to get to. I literally only habe 2 days foe each place after London so I really don't want to pack too much.
The thing is tho. Bath and Cambridge are completely opposite direction from London. Is it possible to travel bwteeen the two directly?
And where do you guys usually get train tickets from? Is there a website you use?

Thanks heaps.

Go to Oxford rather than Cambridge - it's more complex and thus interesting.

Plus you can go directly from Oxford to Bath without returning to London. On your way back to London from Bath, Salisbury Cathedral is excellent - as good as it gets.

Google Maps Directions isn't perfect ... but it certainly tells you the transport providers between any two places, pretty much accurately.

You're very welcome, @WickedG! I usually use a site called Raileasy to book train tickets.

Third party ticket providers can be convenient, but need to be treated with caution ... they can be dearer than dealing direct!

Thanks guys. I'm thinking to shorten my Londonby one day (from 6 nights to 5 nights) and stay somewhere in Cotswolds for one night. English countryside villages seem like a good place to chill for a day. Where would you suggest? Is it feasible to add this between Bath and Oxford?
Cheers.

We stayed at the King and Queen Longcot in Shrivenham, just east of the Cotswolds. It was a truly genuine English country pub, and lovely. Nice food too.

What about any towns or cities that anyone would suggest in Cotswolds? I know it's such a large area and probably not possible to pick one place for one day. But I'd like to hear your thoughts then I can make an almost impossible choice.
Thanks guys.

It's not such a large area ... you can start in Chipping Campden in the north (lovely hotels), and visit Stow-on-the-Wold, the Slaughters, Burton-on-the-Water, and end around Burford or Cirencester. Great day.
