What are Instagram hashtags?

For those not familiar with Instagram, users can search a hashtag in order to see all photos that have used that tag in their caption or comments, listed in most recent order. So if you were looking for inspiration of somewhere to eat for a special occasion, you may search #toplondonrestaurants in order to see the 455,000+ photos with that tag in their caption.

We’ve listed the London hashtags below in usage order (current for 2023), so the number you see after the tag is roughly how many times it’s been used in a caption or a comment. You may want to mix up your tags, using popular ones such as #thisislondon alongside London hashtags that are used less frequently, such as #londonlover. #thisislondon is great to up your exposure as it has so many people using it, however this means that there’s less chance of your snap being seen in amongst the millions of others.
