Whether you're a complete newbie or already know your way around aperture and shutter speed, there's a course to suit you. Taught by experts who really know their stuff, with options focusing on everything from street photography to editing, this is the perfect chance to get the lowdown on all the tips and tricks on capturing London through a lens.

Maybe you'd like to explore London after dark on the Photographing London at night course? Choose from the bright lights of the West End or the impressive landmark that is Tower Bridge, after capturing buildings such as the Gherkin and Cheesegrater while the City sleeps.

Photography doesn't stop once you've taken the picture — the editing process is an essential part of making the images incredible, but can be pretty complex. Get to grips with packages such as Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop and learn how to manage and manipulate your city shots with a City Lit editing course.

If filmmaking is more your thing, or Mindful Photography sounds like your cup of tea, you'll be spoilt for choice. Beyond photography, there are so many interesting options on offer, from writing workshops to art classes. Take a look at the huge choice of City Lit one-day tasters, short and long courses available and get ready to broaden your horizons.
