When it comes to London nobody can say you could ever run out of Instagrammable places, pretty colorful buildings, and flower corners. But since I’m a huge coffee and dessert lover, I’ve decided to do the research for you and to present you: the most Insagrammable cafes and dessert places in London.
As you might imagine there are plenty of options, and you won’t manage to see them all on a weekend trip to London. But that’s just more reasons to come back over and over again, right?
I personally love London and have visited several times, and no matter the season the town is awesomely pretty. Always leaving me wanting more.
Another thing which I love about London is that there’s always something going on. A new place with delicious colorful desserts, a fancy flower-filled coffee place, a rooftop with stunning views. There’s just so much out there to discover.
Extra tip! If you want to have the best pictures from your trip, I strongly recommend heading over at Flytography and booking a local expert for a photo session on location!
Most Instagrammable Cafes in London (watch out for the deserts as well)
Peggy Porschen
Maybe the most famous coffee place in London, if you’ve ever looked for pretty pink places you surely have stumbled upon it by now.
Not only the place is pink, but also their desserts look mindblowing! Savory or sweet, pancakes or muffins, you can’t go wrong with this place, but I guess you must make sure you have a reservation since it is such a popular place.
Where
Belgravia: 116 Ebury Street, Belgravia, London SW1W 9QQ
Chelsea: 219 King’s Rd, Chelsea, London SW3 5EJ, United Kingdom

Saint Aymes
Maybe as famous as the first one on the list, this house of afternoon tea is so pretty it hurts.
With 2 locations in town to choose from, you can indulge in a lush meal and take some of the prettiest Instagram pictures.

EL&N
More pink coming your way! Not all the places I chose to include on this list are pink though, I promise. But somehow, pink is a great instagrammable color, and we all love it don’t we?
Moving back to EL&N cafe, previously known as Elan Cafe, it is another spot you most certainly have spotted making its way into your Instagram feed.

Treves & Hyde
More focused on the food than the previous ones, this place is still as lovely and has a lot of picture potential. And I haven’t seen it in everyone’s London picture, thus you can be special.
Where: 15/17 Leman Street E18EN London

Aubaine Selfridges
While all their locations are super pretty, the one in Selfridges is one of the most Instagrammable cafes in London because of its wisteria wall.

Lady Dinah’s Cat Emporium
One of my kind of places! Ok, all the others on the list are my kind of places as well, but this one brings something new on the table: cats!
I love cats. I could say I’m a crazy cat lady without the cats. And that’s just because of my husband. But I take the chance whenever I can and wherever I am (Hong Kong, Seoul, London) to go and drink a coffee or tea with cats around me.
Where

Dominique Ansel Bakery
So excited to learn that starting 2020 we’ll have this bakery also in Hong Kong! But coming back to the reason why we’re here, the place in London is a must-visit, not only because of its mouthwatering famous desserts and delicious coffee but also because of its design.
A true gem on the list of the most Instagrammable cafes in London, this is another one that changes along with the seasons giving you more material than you could ever dream of.

Cube Cafe Camden
A pretty less known place, hidden in Camden Town. Maybe it does not have all the flower displays or it won’t steal your eyes with the covered walls, but this place still looks amazingly cool.
Come here for fresh food and drinks, great coffee, and some nice pictures along the way.

Aaaand we’re back to the girly cafes, filled with flowers and good vibes.
Come here for flowers: on the food, on the walls, and everywhere. This would definitely be my place and I would come here over and over again for coffee and brunches. And you wouldn’t judge me for that, because you understand. Just look at this place!
