Snap the best views of London from the water with City Cruises 

Kick off your selfie tour with one of the best ways to arrive in Greenwich, a scenic ride with City Cruises. Enjoy riverbank views of the Thames from the open-air upper deck. For the perfect waterfront selfie, snap the iconic landmarks as you cruise along the river and into Greenwich pier.

City Cruises also have a range of sightseeing tours and dining cruises which is a great way to see more of the city and capture the best pics whilst onboard.

Capture timeless moments in a UNESCO World Heritage Site 

Next up, the iconic Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site, where the stunning architecture has starred in blockbusters like 'Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides’ and Netflix’s ‘Bridgerton’ and ‘The Crown’!

Maritime Greenwich is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most historic areas of London.

Recreate one of the scenes from some of Netflix's biggest period drama hits, and channel your inner Queen, King, Lady or Lord.

For an even better selfie, head inside the Painted Hall at the Old Royal Naval College. Designed in the early 18th century by  Sir James Thornhill, the Painted Hall features more than 3,700 square metres of Baroque walls and ceilings. These surfaces are covered in striking images depicting 200 figures including kings, queens and mythological creatures.

Pose on the stairs and use an upward angle to capture an epic backdrop of ‘Britain’s own Sistine Chapel’!

View from One Tree Hill, Greenwich Park

Uncover secret Selfie Spots in Greenwich  

For breathtaking views of London, head to the top of the Greenwich Park or escape the crowds at the serene summit of One Tree Hill. Since the eighteenth century, the name One Tree Hill was given because of the single prominent tree standing at its highest point.

This is one of Greenwich’s best vantage points and secret selfie spots. The peaceful and panoramic views of the Thames and city make an incredible selfie spot that’s well worth the walk.

Stalls, selfies and street food at Greenwich Market 

Greenwich Market has been bustling with life since the 14th century, offering a vibrant mix of history and modern trends. As you wander through its lively stalls, snap a selfie under the iconic market signage on Durnford Street and explore the array of unique items on offer.

From TikTok-approved beauty treatments to culinary delights, Greenwich Market is a hidden gem brimming with top-trending finds. Use your favourite market treasures as props to add flair to your photos.

Add some colour to your summer at Greenwich Peninsula 

There’s a photo op around every corner at Greenwich Peninsula. Add some colour to your Insta feed with the most vibrant staircase in London at The Tide art installation. Marvel at the cutting-edge architectural designs and take in the scenic views from London's first-ever riverside linear park.

Elevate your selfie game at The O2 

The O2 is the world’s most popular music, entertainment and leisure venue and has been visited by more than 70 million people since opening in 2007.

Home to outlet shopping and one of the world’s most iconic roofs, snap a selfie before you head inside, or strike a pose in front of the Flower Wall or check out the display of glittering disco balls and capture the shimmering reflections above you at Outlet Shopping at The O2.
