Secret London: Colourful Doors and Houses

Before moving back to London we went through a stage of “what are we gonna do to have colour in our photos?” As you may know, we very much love a splash of colour in everything we do.

It is a very common mistake to first think of London and its grey skies, however it is not all grey in The Old Smoke.


Surprisingly to many, London has some of the prettiest colourful doors and houses you will find in the whole of the UK. If you love those bright pastel colourful backgrounds in your photos just as much as we do, then you MUST get yourself to some of these places!

In this blog we want to share with you the top spots in London so you can get those Insta famous shots you’ve been wanting! All you will need is your camera, a bit of time and good ol’ trusty Google Maps. May the hunt begin!
