A Swift Tour of Taylor’s UK: As Taylor Swift’s UK tour draws to a close, the singer’s biographer reveals the star’s favourite haunts

The American love fell in love with England eight years ago – and with an Englishman, actor Joe Alwyn, with whom she has since split.

Her abiding love for Britain continues and as she concludes the UK leg of her global Eras Tour, you can follow in her footsteps here.

Custom made in London

Swift’s song London Boy suggests the singer is in Highgate in the morning, Camden Town and Shoreditch in the afternoon and Brixton in the evening. I’ll save you the taxi fare and reveal her best spots in the capital.

First up is the Savoy hotel, overlooking the Thames on the Strand, which featured in her End Game video with Ed Sheeran. She’s staying in the Royal Suite, which costs more than £17,000 a night.

Next up, a little cheaper for Swifties on the pilgrimage, is the Kentish Delight kebab shop at 381 Kentish Town Road. This one was also in ‘End Game’ – and Swift is still a customer.

She and her entourage recently spent around £100 ordering 15 kebabs, much to the delight of owner Ahmed Khan, who said: ‘We get loads and loads of orders from Taylor Swift.’ Lucky girl.

Then there’s the Black Dog pub in Vauxhall, at 112 Vauxhall Walk, where you might come across a trail of friendship bracelets left by fans. The pub is named after her song Black Dog from her album The Tortured Poets Department.

Swift also has a penchant for literary-themed pubs, and she and Alwyn were once regulars at The Spaniards Inn in Hampstead, near their now lyrically famous ‘house on the heath’. John Keats is said to have written Ode To A Nightingale in the pub.

Taylor enjoys shopping and is known for his visits to Liberty on Regent Street (pictured)

Spaniards Inn dates back to 1585, while Highgate’s The Flask, another favourite, is almost as historic. It opened in 1663 and is said to have been a residence of Lord Byron.

Taylor also loves shopping, enjoying Liberty on Regent Street and reportedly spending a staggering £30,000 in one day at Instagram-famous antiques shop Alice’s on Portobello Road.

Where to stay: Double rooms at The Savoy from £764 (fairmont.com); double at Bull & Last pub near Hampstead Heath and Kentish Delight kebab shop from £165 (thebullandlast.co.uk).

The lakes for swifts

This image shows Buttermere in the Lake District. Swift mentions that she went to a cliff-top pool near this peaceful hotspot to bathe in her 2020 song The Lakes.

Swift was first introduced to the region in 2012 by her then-boyfriend and One Direction singer Harry Styles. They visited Bowness on her 23rd birthday and even went to Beatrix Potter World to follow in the footsteps of the Peter Rabbit author.

Although her relationship ended, Taylor returned after her 30s and later referenced it in her 2020 song The Lakes, calling the mountain peaks around Windermere “the perfect place to cry” on her 2020 album Folklore.

She also said she wanted to go swimming in a cliff top pool with her ‘muse’, probably the famous Buttermere infinity pool, in the Western Lakes.

Swift referred to the Lake District’s association with John Keats and William Wordsworth in her documentary Long Pond Studio Sessions.

Where to stay: Double rooms at Buttermere Court Hotel from £125 (buttermerecourthotel.co.uk).

Cotswolds Haven

Swift would like to visit the Fleece Inn (pictured above) in Bretforton, Worcestershire

The singer is known for his exclusive members’ club Soho Farmhouse, a retreat for creatives and celebrities near Chipping Norton. Taylor is a fan of the cabins set among wildflower meadows on the 100-acre estate. Membership costs around £2,250 a year and only members can book rooms.

She also likes the Fleece Inn, in Bretforton, three miles from Evesham. Its atmospheric, beamed rooms are said to be home to a ghost.

Outdoors, astronomy enthusiast Taylor Cleeve Hill is said to have climbed to gaze at the dark starry skies. Or there’s the Cotswolds’ answer to Stonehenge: the Neolithic Rollright Stones.
