Most beautiful places in London in autumn

Kynance Mews

If you’ve ever searched for London on Instagram during autumn, you will definitely have seen photos of the beautiful Kynance Mews. From huge influencers like @leoniehanne to casual photographers who just want a pretty autumnal shot, this is one of London’s most popular photo spots in autumn.

Don’t forget to head down the other half of Kynance Mews (across Launceston Place) for more foliage covered houses and way fewer people!

Don't miss a visit to beautiful Kynance Mews in London this autumn

Kynance Mews is one of the most beautiful places in London in autumn

 

Holland Park Mews

Holland Park Mews was just around the corner from where we were staying with City Relay so was a great starting point for a little Instagram walk. We walked down Abbotsbury Road and stopped at Holland Park Mews, which is a really cute street. You can also see what embassies you can spot in the area!

Don’t miss going a bit further to Holland Park – you might get to spot some of the free-roaming peacocks and also head to the Kyoto Garden for a little Japanese-style architecture in Central London.

Exploring Notting Hill is a must do in London in autumn

 

Notting Hill

Notting Hill is a great area whatever the season, but the added orange and red leaves just complement the bright houses for me. From Portobello Road to Denbigh Terrace, there is no lack of colourful facades!

We also found some beautiful orange-red trees around Elgin Crescent and Portland Road, so it’s well worth a wander from Holland Park Mews to Portland Road and over to Biscuiteers (add in a stop for some delicious biscuits or some amazing doughnuts from Doughnut Time around the corner). Continue along Portobello Road and Denbigh Terrace and you can walk via the lovely Wild At Heart flower stand at Westbourne Grove and even head up to the beautiful St Lukes Mews.

Dalloway Terrace

Cosy in any weather, Dalloway Terrace really outdoes itself in autumn and winter! Their current autumnal decor is a lovely touch, and the food is as good as always.

Wimpole Street

Usually tagged as ‘Mayfair’ or ‘Marylebone’ on most Instagram posts, this popular autumnal door is located at 5 Wimpole Street. Usually with an inconvenient car or van in front, consider yourself extremely lucky if you find the spot in front empty or containing a cute car. Interesting close-ups or side angles usually required.

Wimpole Street is a beautiful instagram spot in London in autumn

 

Myddelton Square

One spot I actually only recently discovered and haven’t managed to get to myself, this beautiful spot in Clerkenwell is definitely one of the best Instagram spots in London in autumn!

Southbank

Another area of London which really needs no promotion, the Southbank is a beautiful area and a great spot for a walk whatever the season. Walk along the Southbank in autumn, however, and you will get to see some of London’s most iconic sights surrounded by orange and red leaves. Perfect!

Regent’s Park

The park section has begun – consider yourself warned! Take a walk down the tree- and bench-lined path through Regent’s Park and marvel at the beautiful autumn leaves that surround you from all sides. Feel crisp leaves crunch under your shoes (unless it’s been raining, they may squelch then instead) and – if they are dry – have fun throwing them in the air like the secret 5-year old you really are.

Richmond Park

Richmond Park is best-known for the deer that hang out there. Autumn is the ‘rut’, or breeding season, so make sure to stay at least 100m from the deer (recommended all year round by park managers, in fact). Richmond Park is a National Nature Reserve and is home to over 600 red and fallow deer!

Green Park

Green Park in autumn definitely disagrees with its name in the most wonderful manner – hues of orange, yellow and red decorate this park in autumn beauty and it’s the perfect spot for a walk in your favourite cosy jumper (how else do you go for walks in autumn?).

Time Out London lists the best London parks to explore in autumn – of course Green Park makes the list!

Kew Gardens

I have seen so many photos of Kew Gardens lately and it makes me sad that I actually haven’t visited in way too long. It’s an incredible place and they even host autumn walks! Admission to Kew Gardens does cost, but it’s well worth the visit fee! For adults it’s £16 and for children it’s only £4.

Take a visit to the Palm House with the iconic white, spiral staircase that often makes its appearance in Instagram photos from Kew or walk the Treetop Walkway for spectacular views across the gardens.

St Dunstan-in-the-East

St Dunstan-in-the-East was a Church of England parish church near London Bridge but was severely destroyed during the Second World War (particularly in the Blitz in 1941) and the ruins are now a public garden. The ivy-covered church walls make for a particularly beautiful photo spot in London and maintain a sense of fairytale while reminding us of the tragedies of the past.

Most instagrammable places in Hampstead

Until this autumn, I actually hadn’t been to Hampstead. I was finally convinced by all the Hampstead photos turning up on my Instagram feed and I definitely don’t regret it!

The autumn house of Hampstead

I’ve realised I’m going to have to come up with a lot of names for these places… oh well. This is possibly one of the most photographed spots in Hampstead, with a cute car (an old Aston Martin I believe) with a great registration parked outside an impressive house covered in red and orange ivy. It’s a pretty impressive place! I do wonder if the person that lives there finds it really creepy when they look at the Hampstead location tag on Instagram…

Location: Fitzjohn’s Avenue, near the junction with Arkwright road

Don't miss a visit to Hampstead to see some of the most aesthetic spots in London in autumn

 

Greenaway Gardens

I gave up on the names already… this gorgeous spot was an accidental find when wandering from Fitzjohn’s Avenue to Frognal. Hampstead a great place to simply wander and see what you find – we stumbled upon this beautiful green and orange-hued spot on the corner of two residential roads and really confused parents on the school run when they passed us doing our Insta-thaaang. You mean you don’t twirl around in autumn leaves normally? Who ARE you?

Location: corner of Greenaway Gardens/Oakhill Avenue

One of the best photography spots in London in autumn is beautiful Hampstead

 

The red facade

Okay, maybe there will be a few names. This spectacular ivy-covered facade that faces onto Frognal goes incredible colours of red during the autumn months and is a definite must-visit! I don’t really have much else to say… it’s just beautiful!

Location: corner of Redington Park/Frognal

One of my favourite instagram spots in London in autumn is Frognal in Hampstead

 

Mount Vernon

There is a whole load of beautiful spots if you just wander around Mount Vernon and Holly Hill (how adorable are these places names?). Don’t miss a visit to the Watch House on Holly Berry Lane – this was the house from which the Hampstead Police Force went out on their patrols and nightly watches in the 1830s!

Location: corner of Holly Walk/Holly Berry Lane (is everything cute on the corner of something?)

Most instagrammable places in Hampstead include the old Watch House

 

Hampstead Grove

This was a bit of an accidental find by walking up Holly Bush Hill and then turning around when we got to Hampstead Grove and realising we’d just walked into a shot we had seen a few times on Instagram already! That was an odd moment…

Anyway, the fallen leaves and the ones overhead make a great frame for the castle-like building you can see on the curve of the road.

Location: Holly Bush Hill to Hampstead Grove

Exploring Hampstead is a must visit in London this autumn

 

The Holly Bush

The most instagrammable pub in Hampstead, maybe? This adorable pub located on the curve of Holly Mount is a great spot to stop for a pint after your explorations of Hampstead, plus it’s a rather instagrammable place in itself.

Location: 22 Holly Mount

One of the best spots in London in autumn in the Holly Bush pub

 

While I could have listed every single London park in this article (they are ALL beautiful in autumn), I did try to only pick my favourites! There are many more mews I could have recommended and lots more cafes – you can find more of the non-autumn-specific ones over in my article on the most instagrammable places in London.

One of my favourite trips last year was a quick br One of my favourite trips last year was a quick break to Armenia, which I took after a week in Georgia 😍 Armenia had always been on my list due to its stunning landscapes, beautiful monasteries and interesting history. I had the opportunity to spend three days there before flying back from Georgia and I’m SO glad I did 😍
✨
I did a tour with @armeniaexplorer, a local tour guide I found online. It was just me and them on an awesome little private tour, which meant I could take all the photo breaks I needed 😝 plus Armine was always willing to help me with any photos!
✨
This is probably one of the most iconic views in Armenia. Khor Virap is a monastery that dates all the way back to 642 😱 and behind it you can see Mount Ararat, a snow-capped dormant volcano that is actually located just across the border in Turkey. Mount Ararat is considered a sacred mountain by Armenians and is actually depicted on the coat of arms of the country. In the future, I definitely want to go back to Armenia for longer! There are so many other places I would love to visit in the country, such as Tatev Monastery, Lake Sevan, Garni Temple and Geghard Monastery.
✨
Where did you go last year that you would love to visit again in the future?

Two clothing sizes larger than when this pandemic started? ✅
But you know what? I’m feeling sexy anyway 😝 💃🏻
✨
This was the most scary photo to post 🙈 I’ve posted photos in swimwear but sharing one in lingerie feels MUCH more revealing and terrifying 😂 I also haven’t shared many photos of myself in anything ‘revealing’ since before this all began.
✨
I now own size 16 jeans and I had to buy a new bra because I needed to go up two band sizes. It’s taken me a few months to admit I’m this much heavier, but I am. And you know what? This bra is WAY comfier (duh, ladies PLEASE make sure you’re wearing a proper fitting bra) and my size 16 jeans are super comfy and don’t constantly dig into me. I feel more confident wearing these new jeans because I’m not constantly feeling them digging in to my sides. They also fit me just the same as my size 14 jeans... from a different store.
✨
Size really doesn’t matter - I’m still figuring out teaching myself that the FIT matters, and not what the label says! Every brand seems to have different sizing and even in the same brand, clothes fit differently. You don’t need to change yourself to fit in to the clothes - change the clothes so they fit YOU. And that’s my motivational speech for today 🤪 also, here’s my butt 🍑
✨
Have a great week 😝 is anyone prepping for Thanksgiving or *gasp* Christmas? Have you made plans for the festive season yet?

I’m missing autumn foliage this year so here is I’m missing autumn foliage this year so here is a throwback to autumn with @solarpoweredblonde a few years back 😍 this house in Hampstead Heath is absolutely stunning! The facade just goes bright red in autumn 🍂 and it’s a sight to behold 😍
✨
We were supposed to go to Boston in October (originally May 😂) and we were super excited about seeing all the fall foliage in New England, but obviously that has been postponed until who knows when 🤷🏻‍♀️ we have been talking about where our next big trip would be, whenever that’s possible! Some places on our list include:
• Canada 🇨🇦
• Japan 🇯🇵
• Germany 🇩🇪
New Zealand would also be there but I want to be able to drive before I go back 😁

What destination is/will be top of your list when a big international (or even domestic) trip is possible? Where would you most like to travel to when it’s safe?

Missing the autumn colours of my university town 😍 I usually go back to Bath at least once a year but no trip to my uni city this year because 2020 😂 this year has really been a rollercoaster 😳
✨
I’m super happy to see the news coming out of the USA, although I’m still surprised (well, as surprised as you can be anymore) with how close it was 😬
✨
I haven’t left the house in a week because I’ve felt pretty under the weather ☹️ hopefully nothing serious and properly just because winter 🥶 but I’m staying home for the time being just in case! I’ve got new projects to work on, plus we have DIY to do 😍 I’m for sure obsessed with DIY and painting right now and I’m not even going to try and hide that 🤣 my explore page right now is currently WAY more full of home decor and DIY than it is of travel right now 🙊 we now can’t really go anywhere here in Gibraltar because Andalucía has closed all the municipality borders ☹️ so even though my parents are in Spain and the closest they’ve been for a while, I still can’t see them 😂 damn you 2020 😆
✨
How are you guys doing? How are my American friends doing? Are you staying home right now and is there another lockdown where you are?

✨
Since I usually travel so much and because I’ve not really lived in the same place for long enough, I’ve never really properly decorated the place where I live. However, with spending so much time at home right now, I’ve been LOVING making our home super cozy and really *ours*. Throw blankets and cute cushions are a big part of that 🤪🤪
✨
Is there anything you’ve ended up really getting into (or back into) since you’re spending a lot more time at home?

Today we have been enjoying some October sun ☀️ and one of my favourite spots is Plaza de las Flores 😍 it’s definitely one spot you have to visit when you’re in Estepona!
✨
Today has otherwise included doing Pokémon Go raids 😆 as well as fixing my website and applying for jobs 👀 it turns out that ‘entry level’ always seems to include a demand for 2-5 years of experience in the area 😒 seriously, I don’t get it. I had the same issue when I was graduating, when graduate jobs wanted 2+ years experience 🤔 how can you have experience when you’re applying for the first time and how can it be entry level if you already need experience?! And how can you get experience if all the entry level ones require previous experience 😳😳😳 anyway, rant over on that front 😂
✨
I’m also working on an exciting new project that I’m hoping to release more details about soon 😍 I love working on new projects, it’s always super exciting and motivating 🥰
✨
However, I also really really fancy a nap 👀 anyone else get super motivated about things but also really feel like they need to nap? 😆 or is that just me 🤔
✨
How has it been for you with jobs and so on? Do you have a full-time job or have you changed job recently?

Twirling into autumn like 💃🏻 if there’s on Twirling into autumn like 💃🏻 if there’s one thing I do really miss while living in this region, it’s the autumn colours 😁I don’t miss autumn weather (rain... cold...) but I do miss seeing the leaves turn to orange and red 😍
✨
Estepona has no shortage of parks and @theflyawaydad and I ‘discovered’ two new ones (for us anyway 😆) today on our adventures around the city. This stunning park has endless greenery, plus fountains and a waterfall 😱🤩 photo heaven 😆
✨
I’ve loved the ability to slowly explore the city. To have siestas and looooong coffee breaks ☕️ to enjoy a glass of wine and watch the world go by 🥰 new rules are coming into force soon in Spain so we are enjoying going out for dinner, drinks and so on while we can (all socially distanced and wearing masks when you’re supposed to, etc).
✨
I’m also somewhat enjoying finding masks to compliment my dresses 😂 I haven’t found one to match this one yet though 🤔 who thought that 2020 fashion would be accessorising with masks 😷🧐
✨
Are you enjoying autumn where you are? Are you watching the leaves change or are you seeing autumnal photos on insta like me and getting jealous? 😂
