The UK's Secret Photogenic Hot-Spots


If you want to increase the number of your followers on Instagram then you could start by posting some stunning photographs of beautiful locations that nobody else has heard of. Luckily for UK photographers the Carphone Warehouse has created an interactive map of some of the UK's most stunning but little known locations. It has identified locations in cities across the country that are both extremely photogenic and under-photographed.

In London the Off the Beaten Snap interactive map ignores well known and over-snapped locations such as Buckingham Palace and Big Ben in favor of locations such as the beautiful Neasden Hindu Temple and the ruins of the church St Dunstan-in-the-East. The map has similar off-beat locations in cities across the UK, where you can capture some beautiful snaps of buildings and places which are unfamiliar to even many of the locals living near-by.


If you are more interested in taking photographs of the most snapped locations around the world then you need Sightsmap. This interactive map provides a fascinating insight into the most photographed locations around the world.

Sightsmap is an interactive map which shows where photographs have been submitted to Panoramio. It provides a heat map based solely on the number of available Panoramio photos for any area. The dark and the blue areas on the map represent areas where fewer photos have been submitted, the red areas show where more photos have been taken and the yellow areas show the most photographed locations.

You can click anywhere on the Sightsmap map to reveal the location and to see an example photo (where available) which has been submitted to Panoramio at that location.
