Rye, East Sussex

A wave of newcomers have moved in alongside the charming old-timers in Mermaid Street and beyond, opening smart interiors stores and artisan bakeries next to unironically vintage tea rooms and gift shops. Rye is home to what may be Britain's prettiest (and prettiest-named) street. After brunch at Whitehouse Rye (get the halloumi hash), pick up a new book at The Tiny Book Store (the name gives it away), then peruse the eye-catching antiques store Strand House Interiors for that perfect fantasy palace.
