By Dymphe / January 10, 2023

In this article, you'll find the most colourful places in London! I also included the addresses, so you can find the places fast!

If I say London what do you say? Maybe Big Ben, the London Eye, and of course Oxford Street. I would think about that too, but if you say London I definitely say colours!

London has so many colourful places that actually look as if they came straight out of a fairy tale. This, in part, makes London one of the best cities in the United Kingdom.

These colourful spots are also very Instagrammable and photogenic places. Some of them belong to the best Instagram photo spots in London.

What's great is that because all streets are public streets, you can go everywhere for free. This makes visiting the colourful places a great free activity in London.

In this article, I will show you the 12 most colourful places in the capital of the United Kingdom!

1. No. Fifty Cheyne

No. Fifty Cheyne is definitely one of the cutest places in London. It's one of the most colourful places in London, because of the blue wall in combination with the flowers.

No. Fifty Cheyne is a restaurant in London. Besides taking photos there, it's also a great place to have something to eat!

You can have dinner at this place, but you can also go here for lunch on Sunday, brunch on Saturday, or afternoon tea!

The restaurant serves very delicious meals with great British ingredients. Thus, I'd recommend going inside after taking some photos!

Address: 50 Cheyne Walk, Chelsea, London SW3 5LR

2. Bywater Street

Bywater Street is a colourful street with the most lovely houses. These houses are perfect for your Instagram feed or for other photos. There are many colourful houses in this street.

But the most unique houses are definitely the pink house and the purple house. Especially the combination of these two houses is so special! Yet, if pink and purple aren't your favourite colours, you will find many other colours in this street!

London also has some other very colourful streets. But this is definitely my favourite one. The architecture of the houses is very beautiful. That makes the whole street magnificent.

It actually looks as if this street came straight out of a fairy tale! Yet, the other colourful streets are beautiful as well, and you can also find them in this article!

3. Maddox Gallery

If you are looking for a dreamy setting in London, you should definitely walk by Maddox Gallery. Maddox Gallery always looks beautiful from the outside.

The most amazing thing about this place is that the display always changes! For example, once Maddox Gallery had so many beautiful red flowers. The flowers made this place very romantic.

Another time when it was Valentine's Day, the whole display had many pink roses! So, it's always a surprise when you're going here. Maddox Gallery is also very beautiful when it's Christmas in London.

Maddox Gallery isn't the only place where the display keeps changing. It's amazing that no matter how often you visit London, there will always be new colourful things to see. That's because the displays keep changing.

Also nice to know is that you can find modern and contemporary art at Maddox Gallery. Thus, it's fun to go inside as well!

Furthermore, Maddox Gallery is in the center of London, which makes it easy to visit. This is in particular great when you go to London for one day only.

4. Denbigh Terrace

Denbigh Terrace is also a street you should visit if you like colourful houses! Even though it's also a colourful street, it looks very different from Bywater Street.

The architecture of the houses is very different. I especially love this pink house, because pink is by far my favourite colour. Yet, if you have another favourite colour it's very likely that you'll find a house in that colour in this street!

You can take beautiful photos here, but it's also amazing to admire all the colours in this street as well. Besides that, it's great to see colourful houses in London in real life, since it's very typical for London. This is definitely one of the most colourful places in London!

The colours in these streets are amazing. This is one of the reasons you and your best friend should visit London!

5. Covent Garden

Covent Garden used to be a market where people could buy fruit and vegetables. Nowadays, it is a popular shopping area. The place is perfect for colourful Instagram photos, because of the blue tone. All the flowers are Instagrammable as well!

If you visit Covent Garden often, you will see that there are always new things that are photogenic. It's very exciting to see all these beautiful things! For example, once there was this huge cart of flowers.

6. Hillgate Place

Hillgate Place is another very colourful street. It's definitely one of the most colourful places in London!

There are so many colourful houses, so I'm sure you will love this place if you love colours. I especially love this pink house and It looks very beautiful in combination with the blue house.

Furthermore, this is also a lovely area to walk around a bit if you want to explore a neighbourhood in London. Hillgate Place made me feel like I was in a fairy tale because it's so colourful and even a bit surreal!

Address: 55-57 Hillgate Place, Kensington, London W8 7SS

7. Saint Lukes Mews

This is definitely one of the most colourful places in London. Furthermore, it's also one of the most famous places in London!

If you ever saw the movie Love Actually, then you will immediately recognize this place. This is the pink house of the movie! Since this house was in Love Actually, it's now a very popular place for tourists to walk by and take some photos.

This is one of my favourite places in London because it looks so romantic. The pink colour is very beautiful and the architecture of this house is lovely as well.

8. Peggy Porschen Cakes

Peggy Porschen Cakes is one of the best places in London to take some photos! This belongs to the prettiest cafes in London with its bright pink display!

One of the things I love most about Peggy Porschen Cakes is that the display always changes! There's often a theme of the display, such as autumn. So, every time you visit London this place is different!

Furthermore, the inside of Peggy Porschen Cakes is beautiful as well. There are also so many delicious cakes here. I would recommend going inside and have something to eat and something to drink. It is such an amazing place!

There are several Peggy Porschen cakes in London. All are very beautiful and photogenic.

Address: 219 King's Road, Chelsea, London SW3 5EJ. That's the address of the location of Peggy Porschen Cakes in the photo below.

9. Saint Aymes

Another one of the most colourful places in London is Saint Aymes. There are so many pink flowers here, which are very beautiful and unique!

When the place is open, you can sit on the terrace in front of the pink flowers. That's a very special experience because it looks so beautiful! Furthermore, Saint Aymes isn't only beautiful from the outside.

It's beautiful from the inside as well! If you go inside you will immediately notice the most beautiful pink flowers.

Moreover, even the toilets are magnificent here! So, I would definitely recommend having something to drink here. You can also have a lovely high tea at this place! Besides that, you can also get delicious food here.

Address: 59 Connaught Street, St George's Fields, London W2 2BB

10. Lancaster Road

Not that into pink? Then Lancaster Road is the street to go to for you! Here, you can see many houses with amazing vibrant colours.

For example, the bright blue house in the photo below is amazing. And the purple one is very pretty too.

Furthermore, I love how large the houses are. The large houses make this street even more spectacular. This is one of the most colourful places in London and the colours are very different from the other spots.

Also, can you even imagine how amazing it must be to live in one of these houses? It must be great to be around all those colours every day!

11. Kynance Mews

If you're going to visit London in autumn, then you definitely shouldn't miss Kynance Mews. Kynance Mews is one of the most colourful places in London in that season. All leaves turn red at that time and it looks so pretty!

It is amazing that you can get a very beautiful photo where you can see that it's autumn. For me, autumn is one of the most beautiful seasons of the year, so I love this spot so much!

Furthermore, this is also one of the most romantic places in the city. It's not very busy here, so it's the perfect place to visit with your lover. You can admire the beauty of it and enjoy a romantic moment. But you can also take some very romantic photos at this spot!

The last spot in the list of most colourful spots in London is Pottery Lane. Have you ever seen such a huge pink house before? I definitely didn't! So, this is an amazing place to take some photos.

Furthermore, I also love the area where this building is, so it's definitely worth your time to go here.
