4 Artists Living In London
These four artists living in London create art in four different ways. Given their unique life experiences and artistic journeys, we’d expect nothing less! From idyllic and charming to majestic and magical, we’re looking at four artists and the way they’re influenced, or not, by residing in the capital of England.
With such interesting history, beautiful architecture, and the incredible Buckingham Palace, London is an exciting place. It makes sense that artists calling this UK city home would be inspired by their surroundings. While we often see London art highlighting the royal family, telephone booths, and famous bridges, artists can find inspiration in a variety of places. Sometimes, where you’re from drives what you create, but that’s not always the case.
From imaginative animals to storybook nature scenes, the work from these artists can bring scenic serenity, joyful dreaminess, and more types of vibes to your space. Whether you prefer travel photography or layered illustrations, keep scrolling to find a new favorite artist.
1. The Urbanteller
Documenting all the new places they explore, The Urbanteller’s travel photography showcases charming areas across the world. Diving into parts of London, they reveal various neighborhoods, shops, and scenery that pulls us into different areas of this beautiful city. By photographing specific book stores, boutiques, pubs, and more, they give us a sense of what it’s like to walk around the streets of London.
From Regents Street at Christmastime to the pretty Peggy Porschen bakery, we think their artwork can be a wonderful way to create an idyllic atmosphere with a dose of wanderlust.

2. Patricia Clements
Inspired by the French Impressionists, Patricia Clements’ paintings feature landscapes, cityscapes, and still lifes. Capturing nighttime cityscapes of London, she often depicts recognizable architecture surrounded by colorful water and skies. Aside from her London scenes, the rest of her collection focuses on other cities, lush nature, flowers, and fruits that pull us into vibrancy.
From the Albert Bridge at sunset to the night streets of New York, we think her artwork can be a wonderful way to bring scenic or serene vibes to your space.

With no noticeable London influence, his work highlights enchanting energy through glowing elements and wild creatures in unexpected situations. Whether it’s a majestic nature scene with a starry sky or a critter partaking in human-like activities, we’re mesmerized by the magic.
From a bear taking a bath with a rubber duck to traveling uncharted waters with giant flamingos, we think his artwork can be a great way to create an imaginative atmosphere with futuristic vibes.

4. Claire Westwood
Aiming to express a loose, emotional drama by working in layers to represent displacement, Claire Westwood’s nature illustrations feature animals and people. Instead of any clear London influence in her work, she focuses on imaginative worlds full of botanicals and storybook elements. Often depicting nighttime scenes with colorful layers, she helps us escape into joyful dreaminess.
From a bird perched on stacked teacups to a squirrel peering up at bird friends in the trees, we think her artwork can be a lovely way to create an ethereal and playful atmosphere. If her delightful work looks familiar, you may have seen her art featured in Stylist Magazine, Which? Gardening Magazine, and Eurographics Puzzles.
