The wild, magical forest that is one of the best day trips from London
Our capital city is an endless playground, constantly welcoming new restaurants, putting on pioneering shows and offering heaps of stuff to keep you busy each weekend – enough to give you an excuse to never leave. But at Time Out, we're big advocates for getting out of the London bubble once in a while. From arty hubs and historic cities to seaside spots and foodie meccas, there are plenty of destinations you can do from London in just a day. For the ultimate short respite from city chaos, we've got just the place. Swap crowded pavements for wide woodland paths, organic wine bars for quaint country pubs, pestering pigeons for wild ponies and head to the New Forest National Park. If you're catching the train, it takes 90 minutes to get from Waterloo to Brockenhurst and by car it takes roughly two hours. Once you get there, look out for famous ponies, which have grazed there for thousands of years, plus free-ranging Highland cattle and pigs snacking on fallen acorns. You can easily spend the entire day wandering aimlessly through fairytale-esque forest and heather-covered heaths, but there's plenty more things to do in the area besides. Explore the pretty village of Beaulieu, canoe down the river, treat yourself to a little massage at The Pig, pick up a treasure from the collector's fair at Brockenhurst Village Hall, fuel up on pub grub at the Royal Oak in Fritham or climb aboard the the Exbury Steam Railway. See all of the best things to do in the New Forest here, and if you want to stay in area for even longer, take a look at our selection of its best Airbnbs to book. Discover all of Time Out's favourite day trips from London here.

Beloved store shuts down after 90 years as crisis faces businesses nationwide
Frentz & Sons Hardware is closing after more than 90 years of business, becoming the latest victim of the growing retail apocalypse. Owners of the legendary Michigan store John, Mike, and Chip Frentz, confirmed the heart wrenching news in a Facebook post on July 17. 'While the reasons are personal, we can share that changing economic realities, rising costs, and the challenges of running a small business in today's environment factored into this decision,' the family wrote. 'At the same time, the three of us are now in our retirement years and are looking ahead to the next stage of our lives.' The hardware store had been a family-owned business since 1932 and a legendary store in the town of Royal Oak. 'We've always prided ourselves on having what you need, especially regarding the unique hardware and knowledge that older homes require,' they wrote. 'But more than that, we've been proud to know so many of you by name, help with your projects big and small, and be a trusted neighbor in the community we love so much.' The Frentz family did not announce the date the store would shutter, but they said they are in the process of putting the building and property up for sale. Facebook users were heartbroken to learn about the beloved store's closure, and couldn't help but look back at the fond memories they had of Frentz & Sons. 'My dad used to shop for our Christmas presents in your toy department. As I began to make and show my sculpture and other art I came to you countless times for tools and hardware and paint supplies,' a commenter wrote. '1962? I had saved $3 in my piggy bank. Mom and dad took me to Frentz to let me spend my first money on an Etch a Sketch. Vivid memory of the whole day,' a customer responded. 'I remember coming here in the 60s with my dad and meeting all the Frentz! Great store and wonderful people to work with,' another person wrote. 'Thanks for teaching a youngster, like me and I'm sure many others, about tools and how to do a job correctly.' 'I went in the store with my dad often in the 50s and 60s and I think that's why I still enjoy and feel comfortable in hardware stores,' a customer added. Others gave brief shout outs to Mike and Chip, and revealed they became friends with them after meeting them in the store. Several other customers admitted to being heartbroken, but wished the Frentz family luck on their upcoming endeavors. The Frentz family began their longtime hardware business in 1925, when Mike's father and grandfather opened their own store. While running the business, they would pass by a building in Royal Oak when traveling by street car to see relatives. Mike's father and grandfather discovered a building for sale during one of their trips, which would go on to become the hardware store's home. 'My grandfather was in his 80s at that time, so basically my dad took the business over when he moved to Royal Oak,' Mike told Royal Oak Schools, adding that he was only 21 at the time. While the business was still selling toys, Mike and his siblings would spend time riding tricycles when the business would be closed on Sundays. 'As I got into junior high, I started working a little bit... My dad would pay me out of the pocket for doing odd jobs,' Mike revealed. 'When I got into high school... I kind of started working more solid hours where I was scheduled and had a regular paycheck. I've been there ever since.' While Mike and his family are unsure of what the future holds, they plan to be around to serve customers with their hardware needs for as long as they can before the sale of the building is finalized. Frentz & Sons is not the only business to say its final goodbyes this year. The family-owned business Trees n Trends is planning to shutter its stores this year after 30 years. Trees n Trends has been offering 25 to 50 percent off discounts on products from all six locations and will continue operating until everything is sold. Joann shuttered all of its stores after filing for bankruptcy protection for the second time in two years earlier this year. The once-popular craft store was a family-owned business from 1943 until 2011, when it was purchased by Leonard Green & Partners. It went on to suffer financial difficulty for several years before shuttering its final locations in May. Outside of retail, Hector's Café and Diner in New York City served its final customers on July 18. The diner was a prime restaurant in the meatpacking district frequented by crew members from Law & Order. Its financial situation and changes in the neighborhood were too much for the business to handle, and its final blow was the city's decision to expand the Whitney Museum and build large offices and a 600-foot residential tower.

Holywell's The Royal Oak set to re-open its doors next week
The Royal Oak closed in January of last year, having previously been run by Emma Fletcher and her staff for nearly a decade. During that time, it had built a reputation as a locals and tourists public house over the years. The pub, located between Holywell and Greenfield, was then up for sale at £295,000 through Celt Rowlands and Co. Now, it is set for its new lease of life under new management, with its new team confirming that the venue will be re-open as of Friday, July 18. General Manager Simon Owen says he is grateful to the local community for the 'encouragement' and 'support' they have already shown. He said: "I'm really excited to start a new venture in such a close community and to become part of such a community." He added: "A few locals have already popped in whilst we were doing work inside the pub. They've given such encouragement and support, which I love and can't wait to open to meet everyone and create an amazing environment for the locals and families. I'm looking forward to it! The Royal Oak are now on the lookout for part-time staff to join the team. Experience is preferred, but not essential.
