Beyoncé has revealed her favourite thing about visiting London, praising the capital as a “melting pot of beautiful diversity” in a new interview with i-D magazine.
The 35-time Grammy Award winner has visited the capital regularly throughout her career, most recently in September, when she supported her husband Jay-Z at his two Tottenham Hotspur Stadium shows. She also performed six sold-out shows at the venue in 2025 as part of her Cowboy Carter tour, as well as five in 2023 for her Renaissance World Tour.
Favourite Place in London
The “Crazy in Love” singer said she loves the drive up to the stadium as she passes through Seven Sisters’ high street. “I love seeing all the communities with their kids, the barber shops, and all the culturally diverse restaurants,” she said.
“As I get closer to the stadium, I start to see the fans who put so much effort into attending the show, either dressed in metallic silver, glistening in the streets and sunshine, or in full cowboy gear, boas, and boots. I can spot my Hive from miles away.”
She added that performing on stage to people of all different ethnicities, in their “beautiful and fabulous outfits and families”, was incomparable. “The melting pot of beautiful diversity in London, particularly at my shows, is something magical to witness.”
Praise for London Artists
The singer also praised some of the capital’s musical talents, including Olivia Dean, RAYE and Sienna Spiro. “These beautiful women are all kind, have grace and write and produce their own music. It gives me goosebumps. I just burst with pride when I see them.”
Beyoncé was last in the capital in September, where she celebrated her 45th birthday. On September 4, Jay-Z paused his concert to lead the entire stadium in a “Happy Birthday” serenade for Beyoncé, complete with fireworks lighting up the London sky.
She did not perform at either show, which celebrated the 30th anniversary of her husband’s landmark debut studio album, Reasonable Doubt, instead choosing to watch from the VIP booth.
