Margate Kent

I like Margate in the winter, like a lot of popular seaside places it takes on a beauty that you just don't see in the summertime. It is one of those traditional holiday resorts much loved by Londoners. They would come down the Thames on the Royal Daffodil, stopping at Southend pier, then crossing over to Margate before traveling on to France, then returning later that day. I traveled on her a number of times when I was a child and loved it every time.
