Peggy Porschen is a chic bakery that has beautiful inside and outside decorations.

They change the shop’s look pretty often, so you might want to pay a visit on your 2nd or 3rd trip to London as well. The cakes are equally as good as the bakery looks, so it’s a win‑win situation.

03. Notting Hill

Notting Hill is a vibrant and trendy area lined with beautiful houses: some colorful, some plain white.

As the area is pretty popular some homeowners put up signs asking people to not take photos with their houses or to not stand on their stairs.

If you see such a sign, please respect it. It’s a pretty place to us, but it’s their home.

04. The red phone booth

These red booths are scattered across the city center, so it won’t be hard to find one.

The most photographed are the ones that have Big Ben and Westminster in the background. They are the junction of Great George St. with Whitehall (one on each street), near the Westminster/Parliament Square metro station.

05. FriendsFest

This next one is not an all-year-round location, but for some time now, there’s a festival in London, as well as other UK cities dedicated to F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

They recreate sets from the show, but also offer photo opportunities based on popular scenes like the ‘Pivot’ or the ‘Floating heads on Thanksgiving’ scene. It’s a dream for any Friends fan!

If you want to go, try to buy your ticket early on, as they tend to sell out pretty fast. Here is their website: https://www.friendsfest.co.uk/

06. Maddox Gallery

Maddox Gallery is exactly what it sounds like: an art gallery. There are several in London and from what I saw they all boast beautifully decorated facades. Pictured is the one on Maddox St.

07. Neal’s Yard

Neal’s Yard is a colorful small alley that opens into a courtyard, full of restaurants, chic cafes, and shops. It is located in Covent Garden, central London.

Because of its small size and not only, it can get quite busy, so coming early in the morning may be an option if you want to take some nice pictures there. Kinda wish I did that too..  :))

08. Millennium Bridge

The Millennium Bridge is a steel pedestrian bridge that crosses the Thames. It offers nice panoramas over both the shores of the river, while its northern end opens to a great, albeit busy, framed view of the St. Paul’s Cathedral. The bridge also appeared in several movies.

09. Platform 9¾ at King’s Cross Station

This spot is for all the Harry Potter fans out there: while King Cross’ 9 and 10 platforms are separated by tracks, in reality, there’s an actual 9¾ platform inside the station as well.

It consists of a trolley halfway through the brick wall where people queue to take a photo. You’ll be given a wand and a scarf of your choice that someone will even hold for you to make it look like you are really rushing to get to Hogwarts.

The whole experience is free, but you’ll probably want to buy some merchandise from the nearby Harry Potter-themed shop anyway.

10. 221B Baker Street (The Sherlock Holmes Museum)

221B Baker Street is the fictional address of the likewise fictional detective Sherlock Holmes, created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

The Sherlock Holmes Museum is actually located between 237 and 241 Baker Street, in a beautiful Georgian townhouse that resembles a lot the one described in the books.
