The picture postcard town 73 minutes from London that's a haven for independent shops
Nestled in the South Downs 73 minutes from London lies a picturesque town that's a haven for independent shops. During the summer London can feel particularly humid during the few warm spells we enjoy this time of year. Rather than putting up with the stuffy London Underground , angry commuters and streets packed with tourists you're sometimes better off escaping the city altogether. Arundel - a wonderful market town in West Sussex - is arguably a better place than any to escape hectic London life.

Once you arrive at Arundel station, waste no time in exploring this by heading along the River Arun for a stroll.
