Sky Garden

Have you ever seen a lush rooftop garden at the top of a building? You can experience it for yourself at the "Walkie Talkie" building on Fenchurch Street in London. While tickets are typically sold weeks in advance, there's a little-known tip that can save you the hassle. You don't need to book ahead - simply walk in to buy a croissant or a cup of coffee and you can then head straight up to the Sky Garden. The best part is that there are usually very few people, if any, so you can enjoy the location all to yourself.

The Upstairs at Rules

This hidden rooftop bar of London's classic restaurant just went through some big renovations called the Winter Garden. This huge facility now is decorated with tropical plants, chaise lounges, and gorgeous flowers. As you click pictures don’t forget to try their cocktails, which are best in town.

The Barbican Conservatory

It's hard to pick any one location in a city where everything is an epitome of beauty, but without any doubt, we believe that the Barbican Conservatory is just on another level when it comes to beauty. The property allows entry free of cost, but the bad news is that it gets crowded fast, so to snag your chances go a little early right after the conservatory opens its gate for visitors.

London's Iconic Telephone Booths

Once treated as normal telephone booths, now they are considered a sort of national treasure since the new smartphones have taken over. Located at the back street of Covent Garden you can find rows of them, where you can click perfect shots for your Instagram, or make retro-themed reels for your socials, the choice is yours!

God’s Own Junkyard

The lively exhibition God's Own Junkyard in Walthamstow showcases neon artwork produced by the late talented British artist Chris Bracey. Bracey was responsible for creating signs for movies such as Blade Runner and Batman, as well as Soho's sex clubs. The property is filled with eye-catching neon and retro objects, making it a top London Instagram spot. The on-site Rolling Scones Café serves homemade cake and cream tea to guests, which you should not miss out on.

Greenwich Park

Greenwich Park in South London offers stunning views and is a great alternative to the popular Primrose Hill. The park is home to The Wilderness, London's oldest deer park, and provides a sanctuary for bats, foxes, and birds. Visitors can enjoy large tennis courts, a boating lake, and panoramic views of Queen's House, the Old Royal Naval College, the National Maritime Museum, the Thames, and the London skyline. Don't forget to visit the Royal Observatory to stand on the Prime Meridian Line, which represents Greenwich Mean Time. Here you have an abundance of photo backgrounds!

From the Michelin-starred Lecture Room and Library to the pink Gallery brasserie with artwork by artist David Shrigley, Sketch in Mayfair provides eating experiences that are perfect for your Instagram feed. Other choices to enjoy are the '90s-style Parlour and the woodland-inspired Glade, both of which serve comfort cuisine. Even the facilities have a lot of visual potential. Inside tip: Visit some of the local independent art galleries while you're there.

Liberty

The most sophisticated and unique department store in the city of London, Liberty, is a must-see for its gorgeous and unique architecture, which includes leaded windows and repurposed ship timbers, as well as its stylish, cutting-edge selection of cosmetics, fashion, and clothing. With its window seats and fireplaces, the wood-paneled interior evokes the feeling of a stately gothic mansion ideal for Instagram photos, especially with its floral patterns and designs, classic jazz music in the background of your post will give a perfect vibe to your post. Also, explore Kingly Court and Carnaby Street, which are surrounded by eateries, cafés, and fashion boutiques.

Shoreditch Street Art

Looking for peak Instragmable places in London? We have picked Shoreditch this time, every corner of this place is covered with vibrant murals, graffiti, mosaics, and street art that transform the area into an ever-changing outdoor art exhibition, already thinking about your pictures right? The iconic Banksy mural on Rivington Street is a stunner, but there are a ton more Instagram-worthy works to be had in this region. Be alert, as the artwork is constantly changing. When you're there, check out Boxpark, a restaurant and boutique-filled shipping container mall close to Shoreditch High Street Overground.

Flower Market at Columbia Road

Columbia Road is transformed into a bustling market with a dreamy scent every Sunday when it is overflowing with brilliant flowers and plants to be sold. Go early around 8 AM, for the greatest shots, or arrive around 2:30 PM for the best deals it's up to you. Some claim that because of its quaint independent stores, cafés, and galleries, it is even more Instagram-worthy in the absence of tourists.
