So London has been voted the second most Instagrammable place in the world. And let’s be honest, no one is surprised. There’s quite literally a photo op at every corner in this beautiful bustling city. And we’ve partnered with South Western Railway to round up some of the very best Instagrammable spots that simply have to feature on your feed.
1. Mari Deli, Hammersmith
Inject a little bit of la dolce vita onto your feed with an Aperol Spritz and a snap outside this quaint Italian deli. The classic olive green car parked outside, laden with fresh produce makes for the perfect backdrop. 1a Eyot Gardens, W6 9TN
2. Biscuiteers
It’s the world’s only biscuit boutique and icing cafe… what more do you need to know? Except for the fact you can claim 15% off all icing events and afternoon tea with this SWR reward. 194 Kensington Park Rd, W11 2ES
3. The Barbican Conservatory
Located in London’s second biggest conservatory, this mini urban jungle is one of the capital’s God Tier Instagrammable spots. A tropical oasis slap bang in the middle of the city? You best believe we’re snapping it up. Barbican Centre, Silk St, Barbican, EC2Y 8DS
4. Cecil Brewer Staircase
You came for the shopping… but you stayed for the staircase snap. The Heal’s Building, 196 Tottenham Ct Rd, W1T 7LQ
5. Hazlitt’s Hotel
Check yourself into this opulent Georgian hotel and live out your Regency fantasy. You know you want to. 6 Frith St, W1D 3JA
6. The Buttery
The Buttery’s rustic terrace gives off the comfortable, laid-back vibe of one’s own back garden. But no one’s gonna believe you made a brunch that good at home, sorry! 35, 137 Ebury St, SW1W 9QU
7. No. Fifty Cheyne
The prices in this boujee Chelsea brasserie might be eye watering. But you haven’t got to set foot inside to get a gorgeous pic for your feed. 50 Cheyne Walk, SW3 5LR
8. Rivoli Ballroom
This still-intact 1950’s ballroom is one of few of its kind in London. Complete with its original chandeliers, glitter balls and huge chinese lanterns, there’s no wonder it’s featured in countless tv, film and music video productions. 350 Brockley Rd, SE4 2BY
9. Mosaic House, Chiswick
Carrie Reichardt’s mosaic masterpiece/residential home in Chiswick took nearly 20 years to create and features work from some of the world’s best mosaic artists. That’s well worth an Insta pic in our books. 4-6 Fairlawn Grove, W4 5EL
10. Foster Books
This 18th century bookshop looks as though it’s been plucked from… well, a book! Go and hunt for your first editions and get a couple candid browsing pics while you’re there. 183 Chiswick High Rd., Chiswick, W4 2DR
11. Tate Britain
If you thought the last spiral staircase was sexy and stylish, this one is something of a geometric spectacle. Millbank, SW1P 4RG
12. Elephant Octopus Street Art
If someone tells you where you can take a selfie with a floating elephant-octopus hybrid, you damn well go and do it! Hanbury Street, E1 5JL
13. Sucre
Over three centuries old, this former concert hall now serves the people with fine dining in favour of music. And have you ever seen something so chic as a chandelier made of crystal? 47B Great Marlborough St, W1F 7JW
14. Pink Peckham House
We’re rounding off the Instagrammable spots with a pink Peckham residence. The walls might not have ears, but eyes for spying they most certainly do…
