There’s something endlessly magnetic about London. It’s not just the landmarks — though the Shard does look rather good in silhouette — it’s the layered, lived-in texture of the place. Brutalist towers and botanical escapes. Royal pageantry and rain-slicked pavements. A city of mood-boards, basically.
In this post, I’ve pulled together ten prints from our store that capture the capital in all its variety — from sleek graphic posters to nostalgic painterly views. Whether you’re styling a gallery wall in a Hackney flat or just want a little slice of Southbank on your bookshelf, there’s something here to match your space and your mood. Think of it as a curated stroll through London’s most frameable moments — with a few design tips along the way.

Bold & Brutalist: London's Edgier Side
Brutalism might divide opinion, but for me, it’s London at its most unapologetically sculptural. There’s a certain poetry in the concrete — rhythmic, angular, and surprisingly serene when styled right. The Barbican Estate (below) is a perfect example. In this print, its stacked geometry feels almost meditative. I love pairing pieces like this with soft textures — think boucle armchairs or oatmeal linen — to create that contrast between raw structure and comfort.
The Tate Modern (below) print offers another kind of edge. It’s a little moodier, with that iconic smokestack rising above the Thames like a modern cathedral. Together, these two make a striking pairing for a hallway or reading nook — especially when framed simply in black or oak. If you’re building a gallery wall, try anchoring it with one of these and layering in smaller abstract or typographic pieces to echo the urban rhythm.
Whether you’re a Brutalist devotee or just flirting with the aesthetic, these prints are a brilliant way to bring a bit of London’s architectural attitude indoors — bold, clean-lined, and full of visual intent.
Parks, Gardens & Green Escapes
For all its edge, London does green space so well. There’s something beautifully grounding about the sudden shift from pavement to park — and I always find prints that capture that feeling bring a certain calm to a room. The London Fields piece (above) has this lovely softness to it, almost nostalgic, like a still from a warm afternoon. It’s subtle enough for a bedroom or hallway, especially when framed in a natural frame and paired with leafy textures — dried grasses, rattan, or a trailing pothos on a shelf nearby.
Then there’s Kew Gardens (above), which feels a little more graphic, more structured. The arching greenhouse, the formal paths — it’s the kind of print that suits a kitchen wall or a conservatory corner, where natural light can play with it. I also love using this one in gallery walls that mix nature and travel — it brings just enough detail without overwhelming.
If your home is craving a touch of softness or you want to add balance to a bolder scheme, these London green spaces in print form are the perfect antidote — soothing, grounded, and effortlessly elegant.
Pop Culture & Neighbourhood Cool
Some London neighbourhoods just radiate personality — and the right print can bring that local flavour straight into your space. The Notting Hill design (below) has that bold, playful energy I associate with Portobello on a Saturday. Bright block colours, strong type, and a hint of retro cool. I love this in an entryway or home office — somewhere you want that little lift of colour and charisma. It also holds its own really well alongside pop art or fashion photography on a gallery wall.
Then there’s Brixton O2 Academy (below)— a total icon in the city’s music and nightlife scene. This one feels darker, more atmospheric, and works beautifully in modern, pared-back interiors. I’d style it in a living space with exposed brick or moody paint tones (think navy or deep green), perhaps next to a record shelf or reading chair.

These are prints with personality — perfect if you want your wall art to say something. Whether you’re drawn to a postcode for personal reasons or just love a splash of typographic attitude, these pieces bring a little bit of London’s neighbourhood spirit indoors.
Vintage Views & Transport Posters
There’s a timeless charm to vintage London prints — the kind that immediately conjure old rail journeys, ration-era summers, or a stroll along the Southbank in a smart wool coat. The Boat Race, 1924 poster (below) is a perfect example. With its crisp lines and sporting elegance, it brings a sense of British tradition that feels both nostalgic and fresh. I’d hang this in a kitchen or bathroom — places that benefit from a playful nod to heritage, especially with a natural frame to soften the geometry.
Then there’s the 1948 Olympics print (below)— such an icon for London and its history. It’s full of motion and optimism, the kind of print that looks fantastic in shared spaces like living rooms or stairwells. Use it to anchor a gallery wall, or let it shine solo.
If you’re after prints that bring story and structure, these vintage views deliver — stylish, collectible, and just the right kind of nostalgic.
London Icons & Heritage
Some images of London never go out of style — and for good reason. They carry a certain cultural weight, a sense of place that feels instantly recognisable. Trooping the Colour (below) captures that perfectly. All ceremony and precision, yet vibrant with movement and colour. I like to think of this one as the unexpected hero of a gallery wall — traditional, yes, but when paired with contemporary pieces, it gives that delicious contrast of old meets new. Try it in a hallway or dining space where you want a touch of British grandeur.
Then there’s the Michelin Building, London, one of my absolute favourites. It’s got that perfect Art Nouveau-meets-Edwardian charm, and the print itself is full of crisp detail. I find it works beautifully in kitchens or studies — places that benefit from something architectural but not cold. Frame it in natural wood and it brings out the warmth in the design.

These prints don’t shout — they carry themselves with elegance. They’re perfect for grounding your interior scheme with a sense of heritage, while still leaving room for personality.

London means something different to all of us. For some, it’s a skyline. For others, a market, a memory, or a feeling in the air on a rainy evening. What I love about curating prints of this city is how personal it can be — how a single artwork can turn a flat into a home, or spark a story when someone walks past your gallery wall.
Whether you lean Brutalist or botanical, vintage or vibrant, there’s a version of London waiting to be framed. Choose pieces that speak to your own version of the city — and don’t be afraid to mix moods. After all, London itself is nothing if not a patchwork of contrasts.
