An icon of the London skyline and instantly recognisable, it’s no surprise that the London Eye takes the top spot. Situated next to the River Thames and a standard adult ticket costing £27, the 135m high observation wheel makes the perfect backdrop for any candid tourist pic.
Following closely behind, Tower Bridge takes the second spot and has racked up over 1.9 million Instagram posts. The suspension bridge is one of London’s most defining features and is sure to make a charming addition to any social feed – a true blogger favourite for just £8.70.

With over 870,000 posts on Instagram, the iconic Brick Lane Market springs to life on Sundays when tourists head out in their droves to enjoy street food, search for a bargain at the many stalls or enjoy a performance or two by street artists. Peggy Porschen, the favourite cafe for London influencers, has locations in both Belgravia and Chelsea. Famous for their baby pink exterior and dreamy Instagrammable cupcakes, the bakery has been hashtagged more than 55,600 times and features on many blogger profiles. If you’re taking a trip just for the gram, a ‘tea for one’ will set you back just £3.50.
Emma Watkinson, CEO and Co-Founder of SilkFred comments: “Blogger culture has seen a huge rise in recent years, and many of us can profess to following our favouriteinfluencer’s movements by keeping up with them on Instagram or YouTube.”
“Our Influencer Map of London is a great tool as it allows us to swiftly check out a landmark, market or cafe and what we can expect to see when we get there. It’s exciting to see that lesser-known locations such as Palm Vaults and Columbia Road Flower Market are loved by fashion bloggers just as much as Tower Bridge or Piccadilly Circus.”
