L'ABSINTHE, PRIMROSE HILL: Wander around Chalcot Square Gardens.
NOTTING HILL HOUSES: Right behind the Notting Hill Gate Underground station, you can find a little neighborhood filled with colorful facades. Hillgate Place, Hillgate Street, Farm Place, Uxbridge Street.
TOWER BRIDGE: The best time to admire Tower Bridge is early in the morning, as the light comes up from under its iron silhouette. The shadows make for great pictures at this hour when the light is changing so quickly.
PORTOBELLO ROAD: To avoid the crowds at Portobello Road market take a stroll early in the morning when everything’s closed and the neighborhood is still asleep.
HIDDEN STREET IN THE CITY WITH THE PERFECT VIEW OF THE SHARD
Lovat Lane, located in the City of London, is a great spot for a perspective of the Shard. The foreground is a narrow lane with cobblestones that showcases both the old and the new.

Red phone booths used to be all over the city, but these days there are less and less – and further between them. There's a booth every few steps with a view of Big Ben in the background.
THE CHURCHILL ARMS: The Churchill Arms is on Kensington Church Street in West London. It’s decorated differently according to the season or major event.
ST PANCRAS RENAISSANCE HOTEL: With its magical staircase and incredible views from the windows, it’s hard not to capture the St Pancras beautifully. This shot was taken from the gallery of the hotel.
BIG BEN: Follow Queen’s Walk to find the perfect arch from which to take an interesting photograph of Big Ben, almost underneath Westminster Bridge.
THE ANCHOR, SOUTHBANK: The Anchor is one of the oldest pubs in the city. It's located on Bankside, close to Southwark Cathedral, so you can find it while walking along the banks of the Thames.
THE MILLENNIUM BRIDGE: There are views of St Paul’s Cathedral on one side of the Thames and the Tate Modern at Bankside, the best time to photograph this unique bridge is early in the morning to avoid the crowds.
ST LUKE'S MEWS Featured in the movie Love Actually, this little street with its powder-pink facades is a secret corner in the city. Perfect for portrait photography, this passage is worth the short walk from Ladbroke Grove station to get there.
THE CROSS KEYS: There are around 3,500 pubs in London and The Cross Keys, in Covent Garden, has to be one of my favorites to photograph. For more of our favorites, see our pick of the best pubs in London.
POLLOCK’S TOY MUSEUM: Possibly one of the cutest curiosities in London, the Pollock’s Toy Museum is on Scala Street in Fitzrovia. The colorful window displays certainly invite you to look inside.

REGENT STREET AT CHRISTMAS: London's Christmas lights are among the twinkliest in the world. And Regent Street tops the list. Walk from Piccadilly Circus to Oxford Street, and admire the architecture too.
POWIS GARDENS, NOTTING HILL: London is a very colorful city. Simply walk around any residential area and you should find little gems like this one. But nowhere more so than in Notting Hill.
THE BANKS OF THE THAMES: It’s no secret that the best light for photographers is first thing in the morning. Head to this particularly gorgeous spot, near Borough Market, in September and October when the leaves begin to turn.
