London is a real gem when it comes to photography. There are many interesting coffee shops, shop exteriors and, of course, cafe and restaurant interiors. I don’t post interior photos on my Instagram but I really love seeing pretty places in my feed. Also, who doesn’t want to go for brunch/lunch/dinner/drinks to a place with stunning decor?
I’ve put together 20 places with eye-catching and Instagram-worthy interior designs. I think I will be going to Treves&Hyde (nr 15 in the list below) soon, those stairs are amazing! (I just realized I’m always looking for beautiful locations, rather than delicious food served… Well, I’m not a foodie, I’m a photographer haha).
Photography tips: for indoor shots I recommend shooting in portrait mode (i.e. vertical photo). Use daylight only. Some places are perfect for capturing the light coming through the windows. Leading lines and rules of thirds are your best friends when taking indoor photos. Also, look for details!
