Bringing the City Indoors - How to Style London Prints

London is a city full of life, vibrance and an incredible depth of history. Renowned for being one of the most diverse, accepting places in the world, where people from all walks of life can come and make something of themselves, London is a city that is easy to fall in love with.

But all that wonderful London culture doesn’t have to stop at your front door or be left behind as you leave the city. London is a playground for photography, and some incredible artists have really captured the essence of the city, so you can bring a little slice of London into your home. Here are a few tips for how to choose the perfect artwork to reflect this wonderful city:

Get Real with London Photography

The most straightforward option if you want to bring a bit of London home is to go for some good old fashioned London photography. London is home to some of the most iconic, impressive architecture in the world, and there’s nothing more English than the sight of Buckingham Palace or Big Ben.

If that’s a little too cliché for you however, photography offers a whole lot more depth. London is home to some of the finest photographers on the planet, and there are endless choices of beautiful urban shots to choose from that really show off the life and soul of London.

Go for an Urban Feel with Maps of London

When you think of the city, you can’t help but picture a sprawling urban jungle with a web of streets, tracks, and walkways. Nothing quite expresses the complexity of the city like a good old-fashioned map.

Maps can fit in effortlessly with any choice of décor by bridging the gap between the traditional and the modern. A map is about the most recognizable reflection of a city, and it doesn’t get any more London than getting intimately familiar with a map of the tube!

London Illustrations that Show off Some Vibrance

The first thought that comes to mind at the mention of London prints is usually a monochrome cityscape, or some postcard photography, but that doesn’t have to be the case. The essence of London is anything but black and white, so why not choose some artwork that really reflects the vibrance the city has to offer?

London inspired artwork comes in all shapes and sizes, and there are more modern prints available that are full of colour and life. Why not opt for an artist’s rendition of your favourite part of the city, or a bright, bold block colour print that shows off the beating heart of London.
