Country pub of the week: The Parrot, Aldringham
George Pell could once be found at L'Escargot, the beguilingly louche French restaurant in Soho. When he headed to the Aldeburgh seaside in pursuit of a new dream, a gorgeous restaurant with rooms called The Suffolk, many of his London admirers followed him to see what the coast could offer. Lots, it turns out, including The Parrot, a 16th-century inn that serves fish caught in the sea nearby and tales of the smugglers who used to drink here alongside the Whigs. The pub is a white-washed beauty, simple but with terrific food, much of it from their own allotment. Order an Adnams — it too is made nearby — and get talking to the staff: they might tell you of the police raids in the 1700s, or simply the results of the weekly pub quiz. It closes early, often 9pm; afterwards, nip down the road for a cocktail in Pell's place. B1353 Aldringham, IP16 4PY,

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.
