79. Leadenhall Market, London
Leadenhall Market dates waaaay back to the 14th century and is built on the site of a Roman Basilica and Forum. If you’re looking to snap a photo without anyone else around, head to Leadenhall market of a week – yes, I know it goes against everything you were taught in Instagram 101, but believe it or the weekends are the quietest time. The area is surrounded by office blocks, so if you head there anytime after 1pm on a Friday you’ll be photobombed by the cast of The Office.
