Park Cameras London Store

Our Central London Park Cameras Store With New and Used Photography Equipment

Our London store is now open  and we’re looking forward to welcoming you all back to Park Cameras!

We opened our London camera store in 2013, just five years after our custom-built Sussex showroom launch. The photography centre is positioned right in the heart of central London near Oxford Street, with excellent transport links from Oxford Circus and Tottenham Court Road. Customers find highly trained staff and a wealth of photography and video equipment to browse. If you are travelling outside of the UK, Heathrow Airport is just 15 minutes to Paddington, which is only a couple of tube stops away.

There are two shop-floors in our London store, which are divided into dedicated sections for all major manufacturers, including the biggest names such as Canon, Fujifilm, Nikon, Sony, Panasonic. We also showcase newcomers to the market such as DJI. You will find all large camera brands and our used cameras upstairs, while all the accessories like tripods and bags are in the downstairs area of the store. This is also where our School of Photography courses take place.

Customers will find a comprehensive second hand camera and lens selection with used stock appearing daily. We offer part exchange for upgrades, interest-free finance options and some customers simply wish to sell their existing photography gear. If you have any faulty equipment our services also include camera repairs.

Park Cameras are proud to be Pro Dealers for many photo and video manufacturers. This is reflected in the consistently high levels of customer service we provide. Our staff receive regular training in order to assist visitors, whatever their experience level may be, from beginner to professional. Our aim is to be the best camera shop in London, and we are happy to receive positive reviews on Trustpilot where we are rated "EXCELLENT" as with our Google reviews. We always appreciate client feedback so please do review us on Google if you have had a positive visit to our showroom.

Meet our London Photography experts

Our store staff are not only product experts, but also keen photographers in their own right, with a passion for their hobby. We asked our London team about what inspires their photography and how they got into this fabulous pastime. along with their camera equipment.


 

Vladimir’s photography journey began in his teenage years when his father passed down his 35mm film camera gear. This ignited his interest in photography. Inspired by his parents, he became addicted to content creation and the creative arts. He has delved into graphic design, 3D, studio, portraits, dance portraits, weddings, product photography, and even worked on full-blown film/TV productions. While it started with photos and graphic design, his work has now evolved into capturing video moments & storytelling. In his spare time, his personal passion lies in capturing people and their emotions, especially his family and toddler daughter.
Gear: Vladimir has used a lot of camera gear of the years but his current personal arsenal is: Sony A7R III, A7C, a plethora of lenses and other camera & audio gear, including my father's first camera Zenit EM.


 

Ale is passionate about landscape photography - especially small seaside villages - and a great fan of long exposures. In his spare time he loves shooting street photography, as well as covering a variety of events. In the future he hopes to shoot more astrophotography. In his spare time, Ale is also a freelance video maker.
Gear: Panasonic LUMIX S5 II & Olympus E-M10 Mark II


 

Having a love of wildlife, Ian enjoys capturing images of nature, as well as his pets at home including his 3 loveable cats (of which you can see some sample shots that he has captured by visiting our store in Central London!). In addition to this, he enjoys shooting photos of his wife, as well as when he is able to go travelling to some exotic locations to places such as Thailand and Argentina. Gear: Ian currently shoots with his Sony a7R III, Sony a7C and Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM | Art lens


 

In his spare time, David enjoys shooting portrait and fashion images using his Nikon D600, although he’s got his eye on upgrading to the D850 or switching to mirrorless with the Z 6.
Gear: Nikon D600
