Cool destination one flight away from London.

Hi trv/, please advice us.
After several months of hard work, my gf and I are going to travel for 2 weeks during April. We will go to London, but while there we´d like to go somewhere special or "exotic", for 3-4 days, taking only one flight from there.
We are from Chile, so as a general rule, "exotic" should be something north or East of London/England.
Our main options are:
1- Iceland. Only question: is it worth going so far away and spending so much money if during April there is no aurora borealis and most of the "ice" activities are not available??
2- Saint Petersburg: I have been in Moscow and loved it. I´ve heard this is a more enchanting city. Any thoughts?
3- Oslo? Helsinki?, anything nature-related to see near these cities?
4- Or just stick to the London area and go to some towns, castles and parks?
We are interested in sight-seeing, history and easy outdoor activities.
Any ideas are welcome. Thanks.

Dude Budapest, cheap as fuck, incredible, absolutely beautiful, incredibly safe, lots of things to see and do, and somewhat less mainstream

Edinburgh, maybe.

Iceland, do the Golden Circle.

This is OT but as a Budapest native I feel so proud seeing all the bp love these days.
For a while I was worried we'd be the next Prague (I love Prague -- well I loved it 15-20 years ago when it wasn't so full), but there still seems to be a high concentration of locals everywhere, so I guess it's still okay.

Morocco's an obvious suggestion. Cheap to get to, exotic, 10/10 outdoor activities.

Iceland has the northern lights all year long, just gotta be lucky, and it's more prevelant during winter since there is barely any daytime
But I loved Budapest and I loved Iceland, hard to pick one, maybe flip a coin

OP here. Thanks for the comments, it might be budapest, anyways, it is well known as a beautiful city.
I'll check connectivity from london.

Bump! Any other thoughts?

Iceland is well worth it. It is very expensive when you're there, and the good is, at best, indifferent, but the natural sights make it all worthwhile. (Yes, do the golden circle, and consider the blue lagoon, too), and Reykjavik is a charming city.
St Petersburg is great, much more enchanting than Moscow IMO, but not cheap. Plus visa hassles.
