London photos usually come with the same handful of backdrops, so the caption is where your post gets its own personality. Write about the walk, the weather, or whatever went sideways rather than naming the landmark twice. Take one below, or run your own line through the AI Instagram post generator.

How to pick one
Write around what the photo already shows. If the bus or the skyline is obvious, use the caption for the part nobody can see: the weather, the walk, the person taking the picture. Keep the strongest words at the front because feeds truncate after a line or two, and a caption length checker will show you the cut point. Move hashtags into the first comment so the caption reads as text rather than a tag pile. A full trip is easier to post if you write the captions in one go and spread the posts out with scheduling in BulkPublish.
