And Brooklands.. awesome if you like aircraft including a Concorde, racing cars and motorbikes. Very close to Chessington and Thorpe.

We combined it with London. We had a few days in London first then drove up and stayed at the closet Premier inn, booked the first tour of the day and drove the approx 4 hours home afterwards. We managed to stay just ahead of the crowds and got pictures of empty diagon alley etc. You could easily do a day in London from Watford though. If only planning a weekend I’d drive down Friday night, spend Saturday in London then do first tour on Sunday and drive home.

I live only a few miles away (still haven’t visited &#128514.
If you want something for just a few hours, you could go to lost jungle minigolf - ten mins drive.
Alternatively maybe visit st albans (they have a lovely cathedral, park, shops etc. there’s the Waffle House in the park which is good).
For a whole day, go to london, legoland, whipsnade zoo, Woburn safari park, or willows farm.
