The Camera Club
  • The Camera Club is one of the longest-running photographic societies in the world, founded in 1885.

    We are a club that is entirely inclusive of all levels of photography, from absolute beginners to well-honed professionals. We hold regular weekly and monthly events to nurture skills, support our members, and engage the public at our venue which hosts some of the best, industry leading facilities in the UK.

    We have 2 professionally equipped studios, 3 black and white darkrooms, a digital suite and a gallery exhibition space all based in Kennington, London.
