The UK\u2019s most popular selfie locations have been revealed, with Big Ben taking the top spot in the country for social media loving Brits to share a photo of themselves. The list of selfie hotspots<\/a> was compiled by photo gifting store, MyFUJIFILM<\/a>, from photography brand Fujifilm, by analysing post data across a range of social media<\/a> platforms to identify the most frequently used hashtags.<\/p>\n

Taking the UK\u2019s number one selfie hotspot is Big Ben with 3.6 million posts, with the London<\/a> Eye coming in second at 3.5 million posts. In third place is Tower Bridge with 2.9 million hashtag uses.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no surprise, the capital dominates the list, with Buckingham Palace and St Paul\u2019s Cathedral featuring in the top ten, but iconic locations across the country make the cut too, with Stonehenge and Loch Ness also appearing.<\/p>\n

The Shard and Tower of London featured in the sixth and seventh positions on the list.<\/p>\n

Compiling the list into a \u2018UK selfie map<\/a>\u2019, the photo gifting site is now calling on the nation\u2019s selfie takers to submit their favourite selfies for the chance to get hold of an instax mini 41\u2122 instant camera, including case and film, \u00a3500 cash and the title of \u2018Britain\u2019s Best Selfie Taker\u2019.<\/p>\n

To enter, participants simply need to submit their best selfie to the MyFUJIFILM site before Friday 1 August to be in with a chance of taking home the prizes.<\/p>\n

Winning selfies, which will be judged on creativity, originality and location, will also be professionally printed as a keepsake.<\/p>\n

Theo Georghiades, General Manager \u2013 Imaging Solutions, FUJIFILM UK, said: \u201cThe UK offers so many great locations to see, snap and serve the best selfie.<\/p>\n
