eric_perlberg Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Shiva, I'm ignorant about Indian food but I've been to a place on Portobello Road that others say is good (dodging any sort of responsiblity for your experience). Also, the decor is definately not upscale. But if you go to Portobello to do photography its here: Nightime Tandoori Telephone: ?0207 792 8766 207-209 Portobello Road, London Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_lim2 Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 If you can make it to Southall, Roxy's is very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavin martin Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 The lab I use and have done for many years is Metro in soho I think you can get details on www.metroimaging.co.uk. Their prices are alright and the quality and service are excellent. I've also used Bayeux in Newman street many times - cheaper and great for B+W. You'll generally be fine taking photographs anywhere on the tube aslong as you don't look like a pro, shooting for profit, or use a tripod. You may be asked to move on but no film will be taken or police called. You are supposed to have a permit to shoot images anywhere on the london underground but these are site specific and expensive. They are for commercial purposes. Having dealt with this before they are generally happy for a traveller to take a few snaps. Other nice place to see in London are some of the parks. Try Speakers Corner in Hyde park or the Peace Pagoda in Battersea Park. You may also enjoy a walk along the South Bank of the Thames. Start from Westminster and follow the river along to Blackfriars, there's plenty to see. You should also take in the Tate Modern and the surrounding area - St Pauls cathedral is just over the bridge from there. Covent Garden (not actually a garden but an old market place) is also a very good spot to visit on a sunny afternoon. All the best and enjoy your visit Gavin www.urban-landscapes.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric_perlberg Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Since this question is still sending people to my link above, I wanted to point out that that link is a generic one to my website. The photos that I referred to can now be found <a href="http://sqs.blogs.com/curiously_incongruous/2004/week30/index.html" target="blank"> here</a>.
