BBC London's 'picture of the day' 2024 favourites
Published December 2024
The "picture of the day" on BBC London's Facebook and Instagram pages is one of our most popular features with followers.
While it sometimes highlights a topical news story or event, most of the time it's just a chance to show off a view or quirk of London that people don't often get to see.
