Superb shop with unbelievably helpful staff. If you have/are interested in Hasselblads this place is essential.
A really nice place if you want to get away from the noise, have a good cup of coffee and something small to eat. The girl behind the counter were nice, the service quick and the sandwiches tasted very good. Choose this wounderful café!
I am now a regular visitor to the Camera Museum. Friendly knowledge staff, competitive camera prices, tasty coffee and excellent customer service, Recommend!
Amazing collection and staff was so kind. Will return on my next visit to London.
Small but perfectly formed museum. Also provides a relaxing space to sit for a while and enjoy a great coffee and free Wifi. Will definitely go back for more.
We stumbled upon this place by turning around the British Museum and we loved it! As much food as decoration are superb.
We surely will return in March :)
An inspirational oasis of creativity ...love it :-)
Interesting and informative history of the film camera. Such a shame that people have been seduced by the instant gratification of digital for everyday life. Film is still alive and kicking and more people should try it for themselves.
Lovely food and a nice selection of old cameras to look at.
I've been going to the Camera Cafe (now the Camera Museum but same people) since 2000 (or is it 1999?).
It's one of the rare remaining true independent and unique London places in a world of franchises and gentrification.
The Chinese inspired food is very good and I always stop for a toasted panini. The owner Adrian is quite the character and extremely friendly. It's a brilliant place to relax with some good music in the background. They now have a camera museum in the basement that is free to visit.
One of my favorite coffee shops in London.
Lovely place to just have 5 mins to yourself. Great decor, lots of history and information. The staff were very friendly and the coffee was great!
The museum was interesting and full of items I have never seen before. All in a great location too!
This is always my first stop when I come to London. I never understand why it’s so quiet. The coffee here is excellent. Much better than the big coffee shops nearby that are packed to bursting.
A tea and a scone for £5.80 is a bargain in London. Just 10p more for a cappuccino.
Cool, camera themed cafe and a cute camera museum downstairs.
If you’re visiting the British Museum, this is the best place for refreshments!
Interesting little museum, if you are interested in seeing how the form of the camera has changed over the years it's good. Could do with some more information on the camera etc though.
I'm a street photographer and just had a broken film camera to be fix. Ward is the guy who helped me to follow up, he is “super nice” and very talkative.
Apart from that, it is a place must visit in “London”, very classic and remind yourself a lot of memory using the film camera.
I’m loving it and you guys should visit it
Nice small museum with loads of cameras. The owner is super polite and welcome. He even let me try the Hasselblad 500 with Digial back in hand
I went here about three weeks ago on the last day of my visit to London. The coffee shop is really nice and reasonably priced. They have cameras at the tables that you’re allowed to play around with. It costs £1 to go down and see the museum. It’s a great collection of cameras and it really shows you how much they have changed and evolved over the years. They also have a store where they sell film, accessories and cameras ranging from disposables to Hasselblads, it’s also a repair shop. They specialize in Hasselblads, which you can also rent here.
The staff is really nice too! You can feel they are passionate about cameras. Definitely coming back on my next trip to London. Hopefully I’ll be able to afford a Hasselblad someday 😜. Beautiful cameras!
A great place for light refreshments after a visit to the British Museum. Located in museum st a few minutes walk away. A wonderful themed cafe with cameras and prints on the walls and a camera museum in the basement. Food is very good with a varied menu. Prices are reasonable.
The perfect match between photographer and coffee lover! Inside you can feel the passion for photography, amazing pics on the wall of famous artist, a lot of vintage camera to see and some to try (see the pics) good coffee and a nice museum on the basement (only £1). Highly recommended 👍👍
We went here mostly because it was empty and there were comfy chairs available in the cafe! Ended up being quite a cool quirky place. Not camera fanatics ourselves, but have recommended to a friend who is!
If you want a quiet place just to sit and have time to yourself. Away from loud, kids and noisy people running around in shops and talking so loud its like their on the podium at the 02. Then this place is the place to go to. Décor is great too!
It is a treasure cove to be discovered in the alleyways of central London. I absolutely , treasure this place. Not only that, I love the fact that they take the time and effort with their music playlists and make sure that, it fits everyone's tastes,' no matter their country or person. Music includes: vinyl French, old indie, jazz and more.
They do great coffee and cookies too! :) Definitely recommend.
