London's Photo Booth Culture
London's photo booth scene spans decades of British pop culture — from mod-era passport booths to today's thriving analog community in East London. The city's independent venues have kept the tradition alive.
East London, particularly Shoreditch and Hackney, has the highest concentration of analog photo booths. Soho and Camden also have legendary machines. Many London booths are inside pubs, so they're accessible during venue hours — typically from 11am on weekends.
