We love London.
Its pretty victorian houses, the flowers everywhere and its overwhelming architecture. There’s a spot on every corner to have a cup of tea with a view, an iconic red bus which will bring you anywhere and the sun shines bright more often than people think. No wonder why London makes the perfect city for Instagram.
Today I am sharing with you some of my most precious places of the capital, some of which I’ve been very secret about. Discover the sites that look best on Instagram and exactly from where to photograph them. It took me quite a while to find the exact angles so I hope you like them. If you’d like to learn about ALL my secret spots in London, sign up for the newsletter I curate at Architectour Guide.

I just found you too! The lavender fields was an atypical plan I did with my mum this weekend as she was visiting. I normally opt for concrete plans and skyline views as my blog shows heheh. A bit of nature was refreshing 🙂

I think that’s my favorite too 🙂 Saint Paul’s Cathedral is the most iconic place in London and the other building by Jean Nouvel beautifully frames the view. Every time I can, I go and visit 😀
