Excellent service and guidance
Absolutely amazing! Every time I go, I have a very positive experience. All the staff are friendly and knowledgable and really enthusiastic to share their craft. It's an excellent place to buy second hand camera equipment which is high quality and often without fault (any scratches or marks are made clear before purchase). The staff are incredible - they are excellent at providing guidance and knowledge to help you make the best decision for your photographic journey. You never feel rushed or pushed into making a decision/purchase, which I really valued. We talked to the store manager, who was generous and knowledgable in helping me find solutions to some technical problems I was struggling with, and I came away with lots of different options to experiment with to see what would work best. All the staff have a genuine care for their customers, which is really lovely. I'd recommend this shop to anyone either wanting to get into photography, learn more or level up. I'd never go anywhere else!

Helpful staff.
Called to check if a used item was still available, they went to check while I was on the phone and put it aside while filled out the online order . Arrived by DPD next working day. Item as described, very happy and will use them again.

I was pleased to find the second-hand camera that I had been looking for, at London Camera Exchange. I traded in my previous one, plus two older cameras, and was very pleased with the deal. I have taken delivery of the second-hand camera and I am impressed with its condition and with the helpfulness of the staff to whom I have spoken.
