There are lots of places within easy reach of London that I think you'd enjoy.
Historic towns that are within easy day-trip range include Cambridge, Oxford, Bath and Windsor. They all have good shops, ranging from fashion stores aimed at locals and students to boutiques with appeal for visitors.
Cambridge and Oxford are home to Britain's most famous universities. The buildings of the different colleges are wonderful to visit, and you can also try taking a punt out along the river -- punts are flat-bottomed boats that you steer along using a long pole. Great fun! http://www.visitoxford.org/ and http://www.visitcambridge.org/
Bath is less than two hours from London by train. The ancient Roman baths are unmissable (World Heritage Site), and the Georgian town buildings are some of the best you'll see anywhere -- straight out of one of Jane Austen's novels! ( http://www.beautifulbath.co.uk/ )
Windsor's great landmark is 900-year-old Windsor Castle (one of the Queen's official residences) -- it's the largest and oldest castle in the world. And you can take wonderful boat trips on the Thames (fab views of the castle as you pass through town). http://www.royal.gov.uk/output/Page557.asp
What else...
Oh yes: Leeds Castle (not in the city of Leeds but near Maidstone in Kent) -- totally romantic, with a moat and towers, just what you expect a fairytale castle to be...
http://www.leeds-castle.com/goto.php?ref=y&sess=u0|p0|n0|c0|s0|g1|d0&
Not a lot of shopping, as the castle's out in the countryside, but if you want to do something totally extraordinary, you could see if there are spaces still for a hot-air balloon ride over the castle and beautiful surroundings ... http://www.leeds-castle.com/goto.php?sess=u1442583|p130|n142|c359036|s0|g1|d0&pg=Hot_Air_Balloon_Flights
Lastly (only because of lack of space, not because of lack of ideas!) how about Brighton? Only 30 miles south of London and one of the most popular beach resorts in the south-east. There are some fantastic historic buildings here -- particularly the astonishingly exotic Royal Pavilion ( http://www.royalpavilion.org.uk/palace/the_palace.asp ) -- and lots of great little shops, restaurants, bars and clubs.
Well, wherever you visit, I hope you have a great time.
Love from a Londoner born and bred (who also loves exploring on weekends away). =D
EDIT:
York's wonderful, and certainly worth the drive.
But speaking for myself, it's such a fast train journey from London (just over 2 hours) that I'd never bother driving.
I book up two or three weeks ahead and get my return journey for around £24. Cheaper than the fuel if I were driving, and I can relax during the journey. =D
You have to book a couple of weeks ahead to pick up the special offer fares. http://www.thetrainline.com is where I book from. |

I live in the very place you have described. Keep heading north until you see a sign that reads Scotland. Then head to Edinburgh.

Well, why not take a trip to the Cotswolds? Some beautiful scenery here; Bourton-on-The -Water, Upper and Lower Slaughter, Stow-on-The-Wold,
Broadway....and then take a trip to Bicester Village.....a great selection of cut-price designer outlets. |

York is a lovely place but worth going over a long weekend or drive tonight. Nearer places that are nice are places like Brighton, Bath and Oxford. |

No one place has all of these things. You need to prioritise. Try Bath. |
