London is one of the most beautiful and historic cities in the world. And as a tourist hotspot, it is often brimming with people wanting to capture a moment in time.
From world famous monuments and statues, to historic churches and homes of the rich and the famous, it’s hard to turn a single corner of this city without there being a story behind the area.
Here is a round up of some of the most Instagrammable spots in London, that aren't the obvious. Think bold florals and hidden gems, instead of Bucking Palace and the River Thames.
The most Instagrammable spots in London
Churchill Arms, Kensington
The Churchill Arms in Kensington has dubbed itself the most Instagrammable pub in London on its social media - and it’s hard to argue with that.
Adorned with florals all over the front of the pub, this find in West London is always busy with people snapping pictures both outside and in.
In summer the front is normally covered in bright bold flowers, but this place doesn't go out of bloom in the winter months - it is famed for its Christmas light display with thousands flocking here every year for the annual light switch on.
St Lukes Mews, Notting Hill
Famed for featuring in the film Notting Hill, this beautiful spot is surely one of the most aesthetically pleasing streets to live on in the entire city.
From rainbow-coloured terraces to cute, pastel-hued mews, there are spots to take some pretty stunning photos around every corner.
Houses are all different colours, leaving a smorgasbord of options for whatever type of Instagrammable snap you fancy.
Kynance Mews
Think of all the romantic snaps you could get in this beautiful spot?
Draping ivy adorns the entrance of this road, set in South Kensington, not far from Gloucester Road tube station.
Many line up to get a snap in front of this famous archway, and a quick search on Instagram shows how popular this spot is with all of the influencers.
Portobello Road
This spot in Notting Hill is famed for people coming along and taking snaps.
The brightly painted homes and leafy lined streets make the perfect backdrop for a photo.
Not only is it beautiful, but there are plenty of shops and cafes to peruse if you want a break from striking a pose.
However, some people aren’t happy with the ‘overtourism’ in the area. Londoners living metres away from the world-famous Portobello Road say they are constantly having to put up with tourists taking pictures outside their homes that are loved for their bright exteriors.
In a bid to put them off, some have even gone as far as to paint their homes black.
Regents Park Road, Primrose Hill
If you are hunting for a spot to show off traditional London, then Regents Park Road in Primrose Hill is the place to go.
There some stunning old fashioned shop fronts, pastel-coloured houses and even two old fashioned telephone boxes on the same road at the entrance to Primrose Hill Park.
Chance Street, Shoreditch
There is graffiti and street art all over the capital, but arguably, the best place to see some is Shoreditch.
Chance Street is one hotspot for all street artists, with brightly coloured murals all over.
And once you are bored of taking snaps for your social media here, you can always join in on a street art tour to learn more about the artists themselves.
Leake Street Tunnel, Waterloo
This hotspot is one of the few places in London where street art and graffiti is allowed.
Located beneath Waterloo Station, the area is a forever changing canvas, meaning that different photo-worthy backgrounds are always on offer here.
Camden Passage, Angel
Despite the name, this spot is not in Camden - but it is in North London, located in Angel.
A narrow street adorned with cute independent shops, this Instagrammable spot is always busy and even hosts a vintage market weekly.
