Where Can I Find Instagramable Places In London?
The problem in London is that it’s a dangerous place for procrastinators like myself. With so many places to stop, explore, or new places that just pop up!
With that in mind, forming lists is often a useful exercise and having a strategy has got to help when on the hunt for Instagram worthy locations. Also check out our Handy Guide To London Over On Cruising With Kids.
Ok, So What Are The Most Instagramable Places In London?
When you visit London, often you take some truly breathtaking sights for granted. With this in mind I am going to assume I am writing for someone who seldom visits London. If I was going to share instagramable spots to visit with somebody who has never visited London where would I send them?
Also I felt it important to include some not so popular locations, places that capture the essence and heart of London.
So where to start? Well, it has to be with an old faithful London go to landmark. Because if you were visiting for the first time, this would be at the top of your list.
The Most Instagramable Places In London!
Big Ben
There are several great places to get a shot of Big Ben, some of my favourites are from the centre of Westminster Bridge looking back at Big Ben, the other is outside Westminster Abbey. Additionally the iconic night shot from the opposite side of the river overlooking Westminster and Big Ben in one picture.
Westminster Abbey
The entrance of Westminster Abbey is stunning, just to stand and look up at the incredible architecture, it’s worth the trip alone. However also walk around the perimeter for some incredible features and insta worthy photos.
Liberty’s, Harrods, Selfridges And Harvey Nicks
The big 4 are certainly worth checking out, Liberty for its stunning historic architecture and the rest for their famous windows, especially in the festive season.
Leake Street
Leake street is a tunnel than runs under the tracks and platforms of waterloo station, which has become a mecca for graffiti artists. If you haven’t been it’s somewhere you should fit into your London trip. With a 300 metre tunnel filled with truly stunning art work, and also the opportunity to see the artists working its a must to any cool London itinerary.
Get Plenty Of Instagramable London Pictures On The Embankment
Not only do you get a pretty great view of Big Ben and the London Eye there are lots of Insta worthy spots along the way making this one of my top instagramable places in London. Including the traditional carousel that sits on the banks.
The London Eye
Th London Eye is spectacular on a clear day. You really do need the blue sky to frame it. However the night view is also pretty special.
Southbank
The Southbank has so many spots to stop and take photos, the Tate Modern and Globe theatre, lots of little courtyards to stop grab a glass of wine. Also the odd insta wall and building. But also look out across the Thames for a great view of Millennium Bridge and St Pauls.
Tower Bridge
My favourite view in London, how can you ever tire of looking at Tower Bridge. The view from both sides is extraordinary so take the time to check out both sides of the shore. Also look up as you are crossing the bridge.
Top Of The Shard
I prefer this view than that of the London Eye. The lift is an experience! Also once you are at the top you can wander round and enjoy the view with a glass of champagne in hand. Of course the view from the bottom is pretty great too! Try to do this on a day with blue skies, we did it on a grey day. Yes the view is still amazing, but blue skies make everything prettier.
Covent Garden
One of the most beautiful and historic places in London, the streets are full of photographic opportunities. In the summer they create stunning floral displays, in the winter the decorations and tree are spectacular. There is never a dull time of year in Covent Garden.
China Town For Foodie Instagramable Places In London
China Town is buzzing day and night, of course there is a lot to see and do, but also eat here. Check out Bubble Waffle Wrap, how amazing do these look? Located at the end of China Town it’s the perfect sport for a photo opportunity.
Regent Street
For unique instagramable places in London, Regent Street is bustling and busy all year round and a great place for action shots. However look out for the car free days that are run over a day or 2 every summer.
Getting to walk up the middle of Regent Street is spooky, A bit ‘I AM Legend’ but without the zombies. Its so cool and something not to miss.
Piccadilly Circus
Piccadilly Circus is a hive of activity, teaming with lights and signs, and the perfect location for a spot of London bus spotting.
Check Out Street Art In Shoreditch
Shoreditch is such a cool area, and there is street art everywhere for perfect insta walls this is your place.
Paddington, Little Venice
I visited Paddington for the first time last year and was blown away by the beauty of Little Venice, Paddington has so much going on yet was not on my radar at all. Check out the canal barges, oh and don’t forget to say hi to the great bear himself.
Notting Hill
Bywater Street is THAT street in London lined with pastel colour houses, of course there are many picture perfect streets in the area but this is the prettiest, from here pop to Peggy Porschen’s the pretties cake shop ever, oh and the cakes are divine.
The nearest tube station for Peggy Porschen and Bywater Street is Sloane Square.
The Design Museum In Kensigton
How amazing is this installation outside the Design Museum in Kensington. The inside is equally fabulous, but this alone is worth the trip.
And thats it! I hope that little list keeps you busy and of course it goes with out saying, down just go for the gram. These are genuinely beautiful places to explore and appreciate. Happy exploring! For more suggestions on what to do in London check out this post HERE.
