Always wanting up to your ‘gram game, but don’t quite know where to start? Luckily for you, there’s plenty of places in London that are just waiting to be snapped. We’re talking floral heaven in Petersham Nurseries and Covent Garden, cakes that need photographing before tucking into at Peggy Porschen, cute streets such as Kynance Mews and Columbia Road Flower Market and the trusty tourist spots that are snapped by thousands (looking at you Tower Bridge). And even in drizzly weather, those beautiful buildings full of history will always be incredibly photogenic. Basically, London is THE place to snap, share and then watch as the likes roll in.
Take some snaps, and then some more. Just incase.
The Vegas of Walthamstow. Prepare for neon lights, vintage signs and plenty of wonderful treasure. Grab your snap with a beer in hand.
Make the most of the elegant Victorian roof and the beautiful facades of stalls, restaurants and shops for more than one ‘gram.
Need we even say anything for our most famous (and beautiful) bridge.
Instantly recognisable for it’s floral installations (and delicious Thai food). Come back every season, for a refreshed and timely snap with this bedecked Kensington institution.
The only time it’s perfectly acceptable to resist indulging in the cake you’ve just ordered. Gotta get the perfect snap first. And then some more. Just in case. Now at two magical locations – the original in Belgravia and the newer parlour in Chelsea.
Amazing Afternoon Tea, incredible interiors and THOSE toilets… So many perfect options. So much phone storage used. And there’s still the rest of Mayfair nearby.
A secret courtyard full of colour and life. Instagram loves Neal’s Yard. Don’t leave without some cheese either. As if Covent Garden wasn’t yummy enough.
Flowers, plants and cacti, everywhere. And a restaurant and terrace for that pretty little ‘gram. Another gorgeous one in Covent Garden!
Think long oak galleries and graceful skylights. Everyone looks a book store, so let the likes roll in from the original in Marylebone.
When there’s a swinging chair in a courtyard garden, you head to the swinging chair in the courtyard garden. And get a photo in every angle possible. It’s in Fitzrovia, after all!
The perfect excuse to eat some biscuits, because Instagram loves the exterior of Biscuiteers. So, gotta give the public what they want. Don’t miss the original icing cafe in Notting Hill.
An indoor garden in Hackney, perfect to browse and perfect to take a hundred snaps. And not be judged. IRL and on the ‘gram.
Looking like New York, standing in Hackney in London. And head back on Sundays, because, flower market!
Pastries can wait, even in Mayfair. There’s an opportunity for a new profile picture in front of their famous flower wall.
First you order a drink, then you set yourself up outside and attempt a full on photoshoot. The facade colours will fit for any theme on the ‘gram. All hail Fitzrovia!
It might not be practical to eat, and you may end up with ice-cream down your top, but it’s worth it for the great snap you’ll get #handsinframe in Covent Garden.
So many picture perfect opportunities. Must not be in a hurry. This is the one and only Covent Garden, you know.
Forever a favourite spot for outfit posts, Christmas captures and just the perfect backdrop that you’ve been looking for.
It’s OK to book a brunch or lunch date here, purely so you can get a snap of the interior.
Natural light is key and Sky Garden is basically the gift that keeps on giving. Prepare to story overload with that view.
Did you even go to Liberty London if you didn’t take a photo of the flower stand though? Yet another excuse to visit Soho.
Don’t forget to use #worldneedsmorespiralstaircases. Thank us later! Well worth the trip to Richmond.
One photogenic (and fun) rooftop playground with views and interiors perfect for the ‘gram.
Looking for THAT pink house? You know, the one that’s used for film and photoshoots.. Look no further than Princelet street in Spitalfields.
Apparently there’s a cute little couple that live here, so it makes that picture all the more cuter.
Come for the food. Stay for the photos.
Flowers are the secret ingredient to getting all of the likes. Wild at Heart is just the place for helping with that.
And finally for beautiful streets and colourful houses, head to Marylebone, Notting Hill, Kensington, Primrose Hill and Portobello Road. Just don’t blame us when you get house envy (we get it too)!
