Autumn Photography Workshop
– London 2026 –
From Royal Landmarks to Victorian Streets – An Unforgettable 7-Day London Photography Experience
Experience London during the most photogenic season of the year — autumn, with warm tones, soft light and magical blue-hour glows over the Thames.
This fully guided photography week brings you to both the iconic landmarks and the hidden gems of London. Perfect for anyone passionate about cityscape, architectural, street and night photography.
You’ll capture sunrise, sunset and blue-hour moments every day, explore famous locations from the best angles, and take part in practical editing sessions to elevate your storytelling.
Description
London in autumn is a city of contrasts: golden morning light brushing against centuries-old architecture, mist drifting between historic buildings, red buses racing through neon-lit streets, and blue-hour reflections shimmering on the Thames like liquid gold. It is a season that transforms the British capital into a cinematic wonderland, and a paradise for photographers who love atmosphere, mood and storytelling.
Over the course of seven inspiring days, this workshop takes you far beyond the postcard views. We guide you to the best sunrise locations, the hidden alleys of Victorian London, reflective riverside paths, panoramic skyline viewpoints and colourful neighbourhoods that feel lifted from a film set.
Whether we’re shooting the warm glow behind Big Ben, capturing long exposures along Tower Bridge, or exploring soft night tones in Notting Hill, every moment is crafted to help you see London with new eyes.
The rhythm of the workshop is immersive but never rushed.
Mornings are spent chasing soft golden light across bridges and landmark silhouettes. Afternoons bring relaxed editing sessions where you learn how to transform your images into polished, atmospheric cityscapes with cinematic depth. Evenings open up to the magic of London’s blue hour — when the whole city glows, lights reflect on wet pavements, and the energy becomes electric.
Throughout the week, you’ll receive personal guidance tailored to your level, whether you're just beginning your photography journey or already working at a professional standard. We focus on improving your sense of composition, your mastery of light, your technical control, and most importantly, your ability to create images that feel like stories.
This workshop is more than a photography trip — it’s a chance to slow down, observe, connect and create. You’ll wander iconic locations with intention, discover quieter corners full of character, and share the experience with a small group of passionate, like-minded photographers who quickly become friends.
By the end of the journey, you’ll take home not only a portfolio of images that capture the soul of London, but also a renewed sense of creativity, confidence and artistic direction. The city will stay with you long after the trip ends — in your heart, in your memories, and in every image you create going forward.

Daily Itinerary
Day 1 – Monday, 28th September
Arrival in London • Meet & Greet • Welcome Dinner
You arrive in London filled with a sense of anticipation — the feeling that a memorable week lies ahead. After settling into your hotel, you have time to get your bearings, take a short walk, and soak in the unmistakable rhythm of the city. Later, we meet for the first time. It's warm, relaxed and instantly inspiring. You get a preview of the days ahead, and the excitement becomes real: you’re about to explore London in a way few people ever get to experience. Evening – Thames Blue Hour Walk As evening descends, the Thames transforms before your eyes. Bridges glow softly, light ripples across the water, and the skyline takes on a deep, atmospheric blue. The city feels almost suspended in time. You begin shooting at a calm, natural pace, discovering how effortlessly London lends itself to photography. It’s your first glimpse of how magical this week will be — a moment that sets the tone for everything that follows.
Day 2 – Tuesday, 29th September
Big Ben sunrise • St Paul’s Cathedral sunset
Morning – Sunrise at Big Ben The day begins early, with the quiet streets guiding you toward the river. As the sun begins to rise, Big Ben emerges in warm golden tones, creating a scene you immediately want to capture from every angle. You explore hidden viewpoints, reflect the tower in puddles, and feel the thrill of being in exactly the right place at exactly the right time. Afternoon – Editing Session Back indoors, you see your first images come alive. It’s exciting to learn how subtle adjustments can turn a good photo into one filled with atmosphere and intention — the kind of images you’ll be proud to share. Evening – St Paul’s Cathedral St Paul’s in the evening has a presence you feel the moment you arrive. Light fades slowly behind the dome, reflections appear on nearby surfaces, and the area becomes wonderfully photogenic. You experiment with shadows, lines and stillness, discovering new ways to translate one of London’s most iconic buildings into your own visual story.
Day 3 – Wednesday, 30th September
Tower Bridge Sunrise • Westminster Sunset
Morning – Tower Bridge Tower Bridge at sunrise is an experience worth waking early for. You watch the city stretch awake, the sky shifting through soft colours that complement the bridge’s architecture perfectly. With long exposures, calm water and a gentle morning breeze, the scene feels cinematic in a quiet, understated way. Afternoon – Editing Deep Dive This session deepens your skills and gives you the confidence to refine your own artistic direction. You begin to recognise your evolving style — a truly exhilarating moment for any photographer. Evening – Westminster Later, as the sun sets behind the Houses of Parliament, warm light spills across the river. The balance between architecture, water and colour is irresistible. You experiment freely, capturing moments that feel both timeless and unmistakably “London.”
Day 4 – Thursday, 1st October
Piccadilly Circus • Victorian London
Morning – Blue Hour at Piccadilly Piccadilly Circus offers an energy entirely its own. Neon lights glow against the early sky, traffic leaves colourful trails, and the city pulses with life. Photographing this scene is exciting — a chance to play with movement, contrast and the dynamic personality of London. Afternoon – Editing Session In the afternoon, you uncover how to shape and refine the vibrant tones you captured. The learning curve feels rewarding and empowering. Evening – Victorian London As daylight fades, we explore quieter streets where Victorian architecture, soft lamplight and narrow alleys create a gently dramatic setting. It’s atmospheric, beautifully textured, and inspiring to shoot. If you join the optional model session, you experience how engaging and creative portraiture becomes in such an evocative environment.
Day 5 – Friday, 2nd October
Royal Route • Sky Garden
Morning – Royal Sunrise Walk This morning has a special charm. Walking through St James’s Park toward Buckingham Palace, you feel London awakening all around you. Early light filters through trees, birdsong mixes with the distant hum of the city, and you have time to capture scenes that feel elegant and quietly regal. The Changing of the Guard adds rhythm and colour — a fantastic moment to photograph with fresh perspective. Afternoon – Free Time You have the freedom to explore, wander, shop, rest or shoot independently. London offers endless inspiration, and it’s exciting to shape the day to your own rhythm. Evening – Sky Garden Sunset As evening approaches, we head to Sky Garden. The experience is unforgettable: 360° views, golden light sliding across rooftops, and the city gradually becoming a constellation of lights. Watching London transform from above feels exhilarating — and photographing it feels even better. We end the night with a relaxed dinner together, sharing impressions from the day.
Day 6 – Saturday, 3rd October
Millennium Bridge • Notting Hill
Morning – Millennium Bridge Sunrise Few places offer such a striking alignment as Millennium Bridge leading toward St Paul’s Cathedral. In the early morning, the lines are clean, the colours gentle, and the pace unhurried. You focus on minimalist compositions, reflections and movement — quietly absorbing the beauty of London waking up around you. Afternoon – Final Editing Masterclass This session brings everything together. You refine your portfolio, discover patterns in your images, and learn how to give your work a consistent, confident style. It’s motivating and deeply satisfying to see how your photography has grown over the week. Evening – Notting Hill We end the workshop in one of London’s most charming neighbourhoods. Soft streetlights illuminate pastel houses, and the winding streets offer countless subtle scenes to photograph. It’s a peaceful, atmospheric close to the week — the perfect opportunity to capture images filled with quiet beauty.
Day 7 – Sunday, 4th October
Farewell Morning • Departure
We share one last breakfast together, exchanging stories, favourite images and the moments that made the week special. You leave London inspired, creatively energised and carrying a collection of photographs that reflect not just what you saw — but what you felt.
What Gear to Bring on Your Autumn Photography Workshop in London?
Get ready to capture the magic of autumn in London — from glowing riverfront sunrises to the cinematic blue-hour energy of the city. Pack light but strategically: a 24–70 mm is perfect for classic cityscapes and street scenes, while a 70–200 mm (or 100–300 mm) helps you isolate architectural details and compress iconic skylines. Bring a sturdy travel tripod for sunrise, sunset and night shots, and feel free to go handheld when the city comes alive around you. And don’t forget plenty of memory cards — London offers endless moments you’ll want to preserve.
