Must see places in Britain: Loughton

Sometimes it's easy to stick to going out in the places you know. When you live in London, you often restrict yourself to one small area. So this weekend, the Lauras considered what else was out there, what was at the other end of the central line? Well, if you're brave enough to sit on a train for an hour or so and venture to deepest darkest Essex you'll eventually stumble upon a small town known as Loughton. We think this could be the next big thing.

But what's so great about Loughton I hear you cry...Well aside from being set in beautiful countryside (see above) it also has a great array of supermarkets to offer...Including slightly pikey Morrisons
And even a Sainsburys

Still not convinced? Here are some Loughton facts...

• Alan Davies, a British actor best known for playing Jonathan Creek, is from Loughton
• All English paper money is made in Loughton
• Loughton grew because in 1615 a road was built northwards which became the main route from London to Newmarket and Cambridge

See you there!
