Landmarks in Nottingham
City of Caves is a visitor attraction in Nottingham based on a network of caves, carved out of sandstone that have been variously used over the years as a tannery, public house cellars, and as an air raid shelter. The nearby Drury Hill is the medieval street under which they were formerly located until it was demolished to make way for the Broadmarsh shopping centre.

Nottingham Castle is a Stuart Restoration-era ducal mansion in Nottingham, England, built on the site of a Norman castle built starting in 1068, and added to extensively through the medieval period, when it was an important royal fortress and occasional royal residence. In decline by the 16th century, the original castle, except for its walls and gates, was demolished after the English Civil War in 1651.

Ye Olde Fighting Cocks is a pub in St Albans, Hertfordshire, England. It is one of several pubs that lay claim to being the oldest in England, claiming to have been in business since 793 AD. Its claim to that date is somewhat uncertain: the building is described by Historic England as being of 16th-century appearance, and the earliest date for which it might have been licensed is 1756.

London has no centre, so the question is which side of the West End you sleep on. The areas, the Zone 2 arithmetic, and the tax London does not charge.

Eight day trips from London ranked, plus the 2026 fare freeze that flips the usual booking advice and the railcard that pays for itself in one trip.
