Tips before you post

  1. Shoot from a bridge or a riverbank at dusk, when the lights switch on but the sky still has some colour. It flatters almost any skyline.

  2. Rain helps the photo. Wet pavements, umbrellas and bus lights make a better frame than a flat blue sky, so do not wait for sun.

  3. Tag the exact spot (a market, a park, a pub) so locals and visitors planning a trip can find it. A general city tag helps less.

  4. Take one wide shot and one detail shot, such as a postbox, a ticket barrier or a mug of tea. Carousel posts of both feel more like a trip.

  5. Ask permission before filming inside a pub or market stall, and keep other people’s faces out of a busy Tube platform photo.

Questions people ask

What is a good caption for a London photo?

Match the line to what the photo shows. A bus window shot suits a Tube or commuting joke, a river view suits something calmer, and a rainy street suits the weather. Pick one above and add a detail that only you would know, like which station or which pub.

Should I use a long or a short caption for a London post?

Short works for skyline and landmark shots, because the picture does the talking. Longer captions work for a day out or a move to the city, where you can tell a small story. A mix across your feed keeps people reading.

Can I use these for a trip I did not take yet?

Better to wait. Captions land best when they describe something that really happened, so save a few and use them once the photo exists.

How do I make a London caption sound less like a tourist?

Use small, specific details: the right queue for a train, the pub order, the bus you always catch. A line about the Tube or the weather often sounds more local than a line about a famous sight.
