Taylor in London

The ultimate London travel guide for Taylor Swift fans, featuring every must-see Swift-related spot in London.

A Taylor Swift-themed London guide, made for fans.

As every fan knows, Taylor Swift has spent some serious time in London, performing, shopping, dating, and dining. So while a typical London travel guide will point you towards Buckingham Palace or the Tower of London, this one takes you somewhere different: to the places every Swiftie needs to visit.

We’re talking recording studios, restaurants, stores, pubs, and parks. Like the Black Dog pub that features in that song, the inspirational Liberty department store, and Kentish Delight, the kebab shop Taylor ate in and later featured in a music video. The book also includes self-guided walking tours, so you can stitch several Taylor spots together at once – from a wander across Hampstead Heath to a vintage shopping route along Portobello Road.

Perfect as a bridal shower gift, for a boo basket, or a personal keepsake, this (very different) travel guide will delight anyone who’s ever wished to get a little closer to their favorite singer’s world. For a Taylor Swift gift, you can’t go wrong.
