Where is a good place to get 35mm film developed? I live in London?

Question

I want to keep using my 35mm camera for a little while longer and I would like to experiment with transparencies too. Anyone got a favourite lab?

Answer 1

ANY CHEMIST

Answer 2

Buy Amateur Photographer magazine - it has loads of ads for labs that still process 35mm film. There will always be labs which do this work, but they may not be so easily found on the high street as they were at one time.

Answer 3

Unfortunately, because of the overwhelming popularity of digital cameras, the cost of developing 35mm film has inched upwards and will probably be unavailable in the near future. I used to prefer a specific lab in my home city but I don't think they're in business where you live. It probably doesn't really matter much, since developers use the same methods - unless you're talking about top-scale photos, in which case, you wanna go to the most expensive place in town.

Answer 4

Take it or send it to "Jessops", or maybe boots still develop 35mm film. Most photography shops have a service where they send films off to a lab for processing--usually good quality, but it may cost a bit more than you are expecting.

Answer 5

I know London is a very small place. If it is that hard to find somewhere, why not move to a really big city like Exeter. They have a Boots, Tesco, even a Jessops where you can take your film into.

Answer 6

when i was studying photography in London there was a place called Joe's basement it was a professional processing place,i found it especially useful for advise and professional help. it used to be in wardor street in Soho. call directory enquiries and ask for their tel. number. I'm sorry i cant be of any more help but i haven"t lived in London for over ten years.
