R. G. Lewis @ 202 High Holborn

R. G. Lewis have been established in Holborn for more than a hundred years. Supplying high quality photographic equipment and accessories to the professional and amateur photographer.

Here are some pictures of our shop at 202 High Holborn

 

The old shop at 202 High Holborn. This building was erected over 200 years ago, and was originally the Clarence Hotel, which ceased operating as an hotel before the Great War.

Above the shop, behind the round windows, our offices were located on a mezzanine floor, extending out over the top of the next two shops.

The large basement, which had a fine parquet floor, was used for packing and storage. The basement also featured extensive darkroom facilities.
