david_champredon Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Hi everybody, I have just moved in London and I am trying to find a (good!) shop incentral London that would provide a rather large range of chemical(i'm not a professional but i'm used to several brands) for both filmprocessing and paper printing. I've been to Jessop on New Oxfordstreet but i was disappointed by their poor choice of chemicals... Cananyone help me?Thanks in advance!

rogan Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 Try Process Supplies. They were located at 13-25 Mount Pleasant, WC1. Call 020 7837 2179 to see if they're still there. If you have no joy there check out this link - http://www.allinlondon.co.uk/directory/1297.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philippe_bedfert Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 Dear David, Why don't you try a French reseller ? As French I use to deal sometimes with Robert White in UK. In Paris, there is a nice shop named Prophot. We can place a web order and the delivery is very quick. The adress is http://www.prophot.fr/ In my experience it is less expensive than Silverprint. But Silverprint is located very near from Waterloo Station (Valentine place)and it could be more convenient. As you probably know, nobody is perfect especially the French peoples, if you go to Siverprint, there is one of the Best Londonian Cake shop named Konditor & Cook (in Cornwall Rd just in front of Old Vic). So do you take some more cake with your D-76 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adrian_pateman3 Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 Or if you don't mind a short tube journey up the road to Finchley, you could try RK Photographic. http://www.thedarkroom.co.uk/home.htm The last time I was there, they still had a farly large range of darkroom equipment and chemicals. Probably not as large a range as Silverprint but the shop is much more easily 'browsable'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lol1 Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 I have to agree that the choice of b&w chemicals at Jessop in Oxford Street is very disappointing -- all I wanted was a 1 litre packet of D76 or ID11 and unbelievably they had neither. So I tried their online site and ordered five packets of D76 from there -- took about six weeks to arrive but the price was very reasonable. If you want quick delivery of small quantities of dev powder, I've since discovered that Retrophotographic is excellent -- they do a Foma equivalent of D76 that works fine.

david_smith34 Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Silverprint is the place to go! Best prices, large selection and knowledgeable staff. Valentine Place is just behind the Old Vic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
