LateRooms look at where you can master the city break with the clan in tow.

It seems Brits have had their beach fix as research reveals UK holidaymakers are opting for city breaks rather than seeking the shore this Bank Holiday.

 

LateRooms.com has taken a look into where’s hot to head to this Bank Holiday and it’s the urban retreat that’s come up top in the popularity stakes. Destinations like London, Glasgow and Manchester are a clear favourite but unsurprisingly there are a few old gems that have stood their ground firmly and still very much the place to be.

 

Spending the Bank Holiday with the kids in tow? LateRooms.com has sussed out the perfect activities for a fun-filled family weekend that will give the Brady Bunch a run for their money. These top locations are tipped to be bustling over the last long weekend of summer, so it’s time to get planning that long weekend full of in jokes and those inevitable squabbles.

 

London

With the infamous Notting Hill Carnival taking place on the Bank Holiday weekend, it’s no surprise that London has come out top on in the popularity contest. The carnival weekend kicks off on Saturday with three days of open-air concerts, dance, steel bands and costumes galore. Bring the clan along for the Sunday family day for a bank holiday full of culture and an experience the kids will never forget. From the colourful parade to family workshops and costumes awards, your weekend will be far from boring.
