Camera eats first!
At this age and time, yes the camera definitely eats first. Living in this fast-paced technological era, picture sharing is a common thing to do. From the Gen-Z to the millennials, every generation is completely immersed in the online world – social media.
Popular photo-sharing applications like Instagram and Snapchat have raised the bar high for restaurant owners and food-makers. The aesthetic food photos you see on social make you want to try that beautiful-looking dish and share similar photos on your wall too.
Well, the food scene here in London is not far behind this trend. It has joined the bandwagon of cute, artsy cafes that attract people to admire the beauty, take lots of photos, try the unique-looking food, and show it off on social. We’ve listed a few of these wonderful cafes that you must try while in London.
While you're exploring London's delightful cafes, don't forget to consider your accommodation. South Kensington is home to some of London's finest luxury hotels, including the Park Grand Hotel Kensington. After a day of culinary adventures, you can retreat to the comfort and elegance of these upscale hotels for a truly memorable stay.
It is not a new concept to find cafes made just for Instagram. In fact, many business owners are taking up this marketing strategy as it works! Topping our list of such cafes is DYCE.
