Very nice people
Very nice people, they ran out of what I ordered and so had to get the supplier to send more in before they could fulfill my order, they were so kind and communicating so I wasn’t left in the blue, will definitely be ordering from these guys again if I’m ever looking for camera equipment!

Bought a camera online from the Winchester Branch, tried to pay on PayPal, unfortunately, needed it sent to my niece for her 16th birthday, couldn't get it on time.
Spoke to Ben on the phone, and he reserved the camera for me.
Drove down the next day, two hours, paid, and they guys in the shop organised next day delivery for me.
Really great customer service guys, huge thank you to Ben , Isaac, and Oliver.
My niece was so happy to get it for her birthday.
Above 5 star service.
Really well done.

I bought a opticron HR 80ed with zoom 2nd hand . When I called to check the condition I specifically asked was there any haze a common fault with this instrument . Ben said none at all checked and confirmed and said we’d never sell any optics with haze . Parcel arrived next day telescope had clear brown ish haze in the prism a child could have seen it . Anyway they promised to repair at their expense then return to me , lesson is don’t feed your customers BS . Usually they are very good to deal with so this is out of character etc

Dear David,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
We are very sorry that the telescope you received was not as described. We have investigated how this happened and have implemented measures to help ensure that it does not happen again.
The team in Winchester dealt with the issue promptly, and the telescope is now back with Opticron to be inspected and rectified.
Once again, please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience this has caused.
Kind regards,
Your LCE Team

Very good first time experience
It was my first time going through a online purchasing with london camera exchange, I know about the company before hand as well as visiting the gloucester store.
They had in stock the item I was looking for and at a price very difficult to pass on when in comparison to others, therefore had to make the purchase that turned out to be a very pleasing experience when putting all factors like price, delivery and communication in mind.
