A Short History of R. G. Lewis

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.

We started selling Leica Cameras and Lenses from the very early days of Leica, and have since sold and supported a vast number of Leica cameras and their happy owners.

For many years we were located at 202 High Holborn. But circumstances forced a move to 217 High Holborn.

A few years later we had to move from, 217 High Holborn, to a new location around the corner.

This new address was 9 Southampton Row, WC1B 5HA, This was less than a 100 yards from the old High Holborn site which has now been demolished.

At the beginning of 2007 we had to move again because 9 Southampton Row was being demolished. This time we moved to 19/21 Sicilian Avenue, WC1A 2QH. Supposedly a short term temporary move, while awaiting the completion of our new premises, however, we we still there in May 2008.

Now we have settled into out new permanent home, back on to Southampton Row. We are at 29 Southampton Row WC1B 5HL.
