Light Tunnel at King’s Cross

This underground tunnel linking St Pancras International and King’s Cross is made from thousands of LED lights and makes for a great photo any time of day.

Pastel coloured houses

There are several streets in London that have brightly coloured houses. Portobello Road, Kelley Street in Kentish Town, Bywater Street in Chelsea and Lancaster Street in Notting Hill all have rainbow coloured homes that are just asking to be captured on camera.

View of St Paul’s from Millennium Bridge

Walking across Millennium Bridge from the Tate Modern towards St Paul’s you’ll be greeted with an excellent photo opportunity.

The Natural History Museum, South Kensington

The high Victorian architecture of this epic museum means it’s just as impressive inside as it is out. Any photo taken here is sure to win you compliments.

Redchurch Street, Shoreditch

One of London’s coolest spots, Shoreditch is home to the city’s best street art and graffiti. Strolling around the area you’ll stumble upon some great pieces but if you want a starting point head to Redchurch Street.

The Skatepark at the South Bank

In air action shots of skaters look even better against the southbank’s graffiti covered slopes. Head down there to try some photography on real life Londoners.

Somerset House

This Neoclassical art gallery is impressive in size and style. Take photos from the courtyard area to truly capture its greatness.

The London Eye

Take a ride on the London Eye for breathtaking views of the cityscape or try and take a picture of the monument itself from the ground.
