London European Club

The Lights Festival is only on for a week. I picked Wed evening because this gets overcrowded on the weekend.

We'll stroll around the light installations (I will check if there is a viewing platform with another installation, tba) and then we'll find somewhere nice and warm for a drink.

I will add a more detailed description of where we're meeting outside the main exit at Canary Wharf. The place with the many outdoors clocks is on the right, I think this is an art installation.

Please note there is an attendance contribution of £6 which goes towards the yearly Meetup platform fee, and our organisers voluntary time, both necessary to keep this club alive and running! This fee will be split 50/50 between the host, Giselle, and the group organiser Dul, thank you.

Closes 22 February. Admission is free on Fridays after 5pm (attendance fee applies), this exhibition usually costs £7-10. Join me to see this small exhibition! We can also look at everything else that's on.

https://thephotographersgallery.org.uk/whats-on/strike-pose-100-years-photobooth
"2025 marks 100 years since the invention of the photobooth in New York. A game-changer for the world of photography, photobooths became an everyday sight in cities around the world.

In the 1950s and 1960s, photobooths were a common feature at fairs, shopping centres and train stations. With no technical knowledge needed and no operator, anyone could step behind the curtain, alone or crammed in with friends, put their money in the slot and strike a pose. The booths were loved by everyone, from John Lennon and Yoko Ono, to John and Jacqueline Kennedy, and used by artist Andy Warhol for his famous series of self-portraits.

These popular coin-operated booths began to disappear with the rise of digital photography in the 1990s. Now, restored by dedicated experts, analogue booths are reappearing in cities across the world and enjoying a resurgence of interest and delight with modern-day fans."

The example photos from the website look like they may have been taken in the 1950s. I think they are both hilarious and moving witness of their time. We will also get to see the other exhibitions that are on different floors, there is a lift as well.

We will go for drinks afterwards.
