A good place to start taking London pictures is along the banks of the River Thames where many of the sights of London can be seen. Sights such as the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, St Pauls Cathedral, The Tower Bridge and many others can be seen and the view is good enough for some breathtaking photographs. You can get on a boat and visit Kew Gardens, which is a great place to take London photos.

If you love architecture then your next stop should be the works of Christopher Wren arguably one the greatest architects the city has ever seen. St. Paul’s cathedral is one of the more famed restoration works of Wren’s and is also one of the major locations for London photographs to be taken. Take a climb to the top of the cathedral and there you will find a good location to take London pictures of the Thames and the rooftops of the surrounding buildings. Wren also has about thirty other buildings located all over the city that are also great architectural pieces.

One location you should visit is the zoo located in Regent’s park. Here you can take London pictures of people looking at the animals and petting some of them. You can visit the many art museums around the city but many of them have banned or placed restrictions on photography. At the British Museum you can take pictures of the people interacting with the art, tripods are not allowed.

London photographs can never be complete without pictures of lawyers walking around in wigs to and from the Royal Courts of Justice. There are quite a bit of older builds around the courts that will make ideal London photos. Arguably the main place for London photos is Buckingham Palace. Here you can take pictures of the palace and the famous changing of guard. This palace is world famous which means it receives many visitors each day so be prepared to see a lot of people when you go there.
Another must for London photos is the London underground railway. Here you can take picture on the trains or take the trains as the pull in to the station. The trains travel to different parts of the city so you will have a lot of views of it to take many photographs. There many other areas and neighbourhoods in London where you can take London pictures, and to do a good job will take a couple of days. Make sure you carry enough film as there will a lot of London photographs to be taken.
