Founded in 1885, The Camera Club is one of the oldest and most distinguished photographic clubs in the world, and many notable figures in the history of photography have been members. The Camera Club owns its own London Clubhouse in Kennington. This enables it to offer the outstanding facilities to members, which many might otherwise find almost unavailable or unaffordable. The Camera Club promotes interest in all aspects of photography as an art form accessible to all, and welcomes members who enjoy photography at all experience levels, young and old, amateur and professional.
