Suffolk coastal town dubbed 'London-on-Sea'
A much-loved Suffolk coastal town has been dubbed 'London-on-Sea' after becoming so popular with those living in the capital.
The national news outlet My London described Aldeburgh as a place Londoners are heading to for staycations or even permanent moves.
The popular seaside town has earned the nickname 'London-on-sea'.
My London said: "While taking a stroll along Aldeburgh Beach, you'll discover a trove of historical treasures, such as the Quatrefoil Martello Tower, a relic from the Napoleonic Wars era.
"There's also a charming Norman church and a beautifully converted windmill known as Green Fort.
"Make sure to keep an eye out for the iconic Aldeburgh Scallop, a striking four-meter high steel shell sculpture installed on the beach to honour Benjamin Britten, the esteemed 20th-century composer and a former local of Aldeburgh.
"The buzz of the waterfront is only amplified by the quaint traditional fisherman's huts peppered across the sand, where visitors have the chance to purchase some freshly-caught seafood directly from the locals."
There is plenty to do in the town whether it be enjoying the glorious pebble beach, visiting one of the many great restaurants or trying out some award-winning fish and chips.
Those looking for a place to stay are spoilt for choice but one place that constantly receives national recognition is The Suffolk.
The town has also been named one of the best places to live in the UK by the expert property finders at Garrington.
It was described as "one of Suffolk's gems" with its pastel-coloured houses serving as the backdrop to the pebble beach.
