Next stop: London! As the second destination of the month-long fashion shows, the British capital attracts creatives from all over the world. For every model and all models on the move during LFW, London offers endless inspiration. Grab an Oyster card, get to know the Tube, and discover the city’s trendiest spots—perfect for recharging between castings, shows, and appointments with a model agency.
East London is considered a creative hotspot and is especially popular with models and talents from the modeling scene. Neighborhoods such as Hoxton, Shoreditch, and Hackney are known for cool cafés, international cuisine, and emerging fashion labels. The ever-changing street art represents creative freedom and makes this part of London a meeting point for young designers, photographers, and model agencies searching for fresh faces.
Alongside its modern scene, London also captivates with its history. Historic walks take you through centuries of culture—ideal for switching off briefly between appointments with your model agency. Free audio tours such as the Rick Steves guide offer insider knowledge and turn every walk through the fashion capital into an inspiring experience for everyone working in modeling.
For a lively, local experience, a visit to Borough Market is well worth it. The city’s most famous food market is a popular meeting place for models after long show days. Here you’ll find specialties from around the world and can recharge your energy—preferably on an empty stomach.
Those seeking nature will find it at Hampstead Heath. This expansive green space in north London is a retreat away from the hustle and bustle and is popular with models who value balance between work and relaxation. With ponds, wildflowers, and sweeping views over the city, it offers a unique break from the modeling routine—just a few kilometers from Oxford Circus.
London’s museums are also a must. The British Museum, Tate Britain, and the National Portrait Gallery are free to enter and offer cultural inspiration without budget stress. During Fashion Week, they are the perfect places for models and creatives to gain new perspectives and return to their agencies and shows with fresh ideas.
