I don't mean to offend but I find that odd, do you avoid Welsh and Scoth customers too?
The villages and hills around the Weald of Kent, stunning!
Tenterden
Rye
Dungeness as mentioned previously and visit the Snack shack; fish flatbreads = freshly made flatbreads and lemon sole with coriander and chilli sauce, the freshness of which will not have been experienced anywhere, or home made fish finger baps
Whitstable
Broadstairs/Ramsgate.
Dorset - Most places

Oh my word, so many beautiful places I have to visit! Weather is a crucial factor I'd say.
London is great, the Dales are great but too far from me.
Today, I'd say Lacock, Wiltshire as it's near me and they were filming Downton Abbey there with Hugh Bonneville and the gang and the biggest bull I've ever seen.

Go right to the top and on a clear day it is possible to see for many miles across to York.I would also add:
Knaresborough Castle and riverside on a sunny day.
I went there a short while ago, pretty much unexpected limestone gorge with the river Nidd at the bottom. It is possible to walk down Abbey road, a posh residential lane with an ancient hermitage at one end, wood sculptures along the way, Saint Robert's Cave, a little chapel cut into the rocks, the House in the Rocks, across the road to Riverside, then onto the ice cream shops, cafes and boats, below the castle, under the Viaduct, past some really nice houses , such as thatched cottages, timber framed houses, Mediterranean styled houses with verandas and balconies, over the next road to Conyngham Hall and fields, perhaps further still onto Harrogate and Ripley along or near the river. It's a really easy going and cheap way to spend a day just mooching around!

-London. To make sure you've seen it and dont feel the need to go back. A soul destroying place
It's hideous, isn't it. 
I really, really, don't get the London bashing that goes on in here.
I'm in London quite often for various reasons these days and I absolutely love it every time. Been visiting with my parents regularly since I was a child, and now I'm 34 and still look forward to finding any excuse to go as often as I can.
It's truly one of the greatest cities in the world with history and architecture that many other places can only dream of.
Currently based in Middlesbrough, so have explored quite a bit around the local(ish) area:
Staithes - quaint little fishing harbour.
Roseberry Topping - small peak that's like a mini 'Matterhorn'.
Goathland train station and steam railway - aka Hogsmeade station in Harry Potter.
Ribblehead viaduct - mahoosive railway bridge that featured in an early Topgear when Jeremy drove the 'new' Jag XK.
Reivaux abbey - impressive ruined abbey tucked away in an unassuming North York Moors valley.
High force waterfall - it's a big waterfall, nice part of the world.

the Dales are four hours away from London (under three if you drive late at night in midweek).London is great, the Dales are great but too far from me.

The three peaks, Ingleborough, Pen-y-Ghent and Whernside. Stay somewhere like Austwick (the Traddock is good).
The roads are fabulous. The walking is challenging enough and the vistas are spectacular.
Not forgetting Malham Cove, Gordale Scar, Ribblehead Viaduct and the rest............The roads are fabulous. The walking is challenging enough and the vistas are spectacular.
