5 Best Instagram Spots in London
Planning a trip to London and wondering where to snap the best photos? Look no further! This guide is here to show you the best spots in London that will make your Instagram feed shine with the British capital’s charm!
Apple Market (Covent Garden)
Covent Garden is one of the most recognizable of all London’s attractions. It covers a large area filled with markets, shops, pubs and restaurants. Hands down the most picturesque and Instagram-perfect part of Covent Garden is the glorious Apple Market. The site of a former vegetable and fruit market, the covered Apple Market is now home to stalls loaded with handmade crafts and gifts.
Neal’s Yard
Neal’s Yard is technically part of Covent Garden too. Yet it’s really worth its very own place on this list of best Instagram spots in London. Neal’s Yard is a small courtyard with gorgeous colourful buildings and beautiful plants. It’s almost always super busy and crowded so make sure you get there as early as possible if you don’t want your Instagram post to feature dozens of strangers.
The Big Ben
The Big Ben needs no special introduction. No trip to London is complete without taking thousands of snapshots of the iconic Clock Tower. If you want a panoramic shot of the Houses of Parliament rather than just the Big Ben, it’s best to snap your photo from the South Bank of the River Thames.
The Shard
Back in 2012, London’s skyline changed for ever with the completion of one of the most imposing tall buildings ever built: the Shard. The latter is a masterpiece of modern architecture but it’s also a kind of “love it or hate it” construction. Either way, a photo of either the Shard itself or the view from its observation deck can’t be absent from your Instagram feed.
St Lukes Mews (Notting Hill)
Notting Hill in general is one of the quaintest neighbourhoods in London. However, there are some streets in the area that are more photogenic than others. One of them is St Lukes Mews, which is lined with low fairytale-like buildings with the most colourful facades you could ever dream of.
