Last weekend we had street artist Joe Hill from 3D Joe & Max showing their amazing canvas paintings in Stockholm. Many thanks to all of you who came to the Central Station and had your photo taken!
In total some 1000 people interacted with the painting and around 250 people have claimed their picture to enter our 3D Photo Competition on Facebook/LoveUK.
Today we gathered the jury who is responsible for shortlisting 9 images for the final stage of the competition: Anna Laurell, Swedish elite boxer; Titti Schultz, well-known radio personality from Rix FM and Gary Robson, Manager Nordic, VisitBritain.
There were some really good pictures claimed but an unanimous jury managed to decide on the nine best! Curious to see who they are? Stay tuned until 10 October!
After 10 October it’s all up to you guys! The photo with the most likes on Facebook will win two flight tickets to Britain! The Stockholm winner will also enter a global final with the best images from cities like Los Angeles, Shanghai, Milan and Delhi who have all hosted the VisitBritain World Tour. So make sure you have your say! If you’re lucky, you might win a prize too…

Getting hungry? There´s a great pub called Wax O´Connor on Rupert Street. Take the stairs down to the area where the interiors come from a catholic church and try the fish and chips.
For asian food I´d recomend Wagamama, a chain of restaurants you´ll find all over Britain. My favourite is in Soho on Lexington Street.
Really nice and fancy asian food visit Hakkasan on 8 Henway Street, a beautiful place and wonderful food. When you want to dance the food away it´s not far (a few minutes walk) to the best flamanco place outside Spain, also on Henway Street.
If you want to spoil yourself, have a treat at The Savoy on the Strand. The afternoon Tea there is the best!
And don´t forget that if you want a break from the buzz in the city, it´s easy to get on a train to Oxford, Cambridge, Windsor och Bath for example, great for at daytrip!

If you´re in London for the first time you should definately see all the iconic sights but when you´ve done that, take a turn off the big streets. Get away from the crowds and you´ll get to see brilliant British things like this:
If you want to get all your shopping done in no time don´t miss the new shoppingcenter called Westfield in Shepards Bush, suits both big and smaller wallets! Get on bus no 94 from Bayswater Road and you´ll have a nice 15 min journey through Notting Hill.

Titti Schultz is one of Sweden’s most popular radio hosts and one of the celeb team members of Rix MorronZoo on Rix FM. Titti was in London recently – read about her great experiences below!
London must be the longest lasting love of my life, I always feel good there, even if I´m down!
The last time I went was early June and for the first time I visited The Chelsea Flower Show, I was there for a couple of hours, strolling around sipping Pimms. It was a really nice experience with a huge garden in a big city but if you´re not a plantfanatic, a couple of hours visit is just enough… This is me in The Strawberry Fields!
