When’s the best time to visit the South East?
May to June and September to October are the sweet spots — fewer crowds than peak summer, and temperatures usually sit between 15–22°C. Pack a light waterproof even in summer; afternoon showers are common. Avoid school half-terms in late May and October for better value accommodation.
What should I pack for a trip to the South East?
Layers are your friend. A midweight jacket works year-round, plus sturdy shoes for coastal paths like the Seven Sisters. In winter, a warm coat and hat are essential; in summer, add suncream and a reusable water bottle. The region can feel breezy near the coast, so a windproof layer helps.
