So, if you’re keen to get snapping in the heart of London, book your FUJIKINA 2025 tickets and read on to learn more about what’s at the core of this incredible event. 

What is the ethos behind FUJIKINA London?

FUJIKINA is a series of worldwide events celebrating photography across the globe. Every FUJIKINA programme is different.

Making photography accessible to all

Here in London, we want to show that anyone can get involved with photography. We’re opening the gates to remind professionals and newbies alike that photography doesn’t need to be an elite art form. Instead, it’s a way to express your creativity and explore your surroundings. 

Why London?

London is a city packed with incredible skylines, historical monuments, and attractions that thrill thousands of visitors every day. It’s also a multicultural hub, home to over 270 nationalities and countless diverse stories and experiences.

With photography, you have the chance to interpret our wonderful city your way. 

At the FUJIFILM House of Photography, we’re lucky enough to be nestled right in the centre of London. We’re surrounded by its magnificence, but what we’re really passionate about is learning how you experience London. From our London photo walks, which let you explore the city through your lens, to our gallery featuring Magnum: A World in Colour, which showcases curated photographs and never-before-seen images from the archive, all about looking into the UK’s history and culture.

Our space is inclusive and designed to inspire — and our desire to empower you to explore your own interpretations through photography extends into the FUJIKINA London 2025 programme of events.

Alongside events at our very own House of Photography, they will also be taking place at The Conduit (6 Langley Street) and The Stables (40 Earlham Street).
