photoblogger Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 I've been searching the site and have yet to find a recommendation for a good lab in London, England. I'm not too worried about printing capabilities as I scan all my negs. However, I'm still looking for a decent Lab to process my B&W and colour negatives. Does anyone have any suggestions?

alexis_neel Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Metro Imaging is the best in London. HTH Alexis www.alexisneel.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuart_whatling Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Metro are indeed very good - and since the demise of Joe's Basement, Metro's Clerkenwell Rd lab is about the only 24/7 option. Personally I really like Ceta Imaging - excellent quality and the friendliest lab in Soho. http://www.cetaimaging.com/ On the purely practical side, if you're looking for a drink while waiting for your negs to dry, Clerkenwell has better pubs...

david_henderson Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 I like a lab where you can if you want interact with the people actually doing the work. I've used Bayeux-Newman Street W1- just north of Oxford Street 0207 436 1066 - since it opened a couple of years ago and the same people previously when they were all at Tapestry. I can't compare them with Metro since I haven't used the latter - I haven't felt the need to look for something "better" . I do know that I'd stopped using Joe's before their demise because I didn't like their Wardour St people much and liked standing in lines behind backpackers who needed a full review of every option available to them even less. I got my E6 today in two hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard_milner2 Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 I've used Ceta and Sky Photographic -- Ceta's people are friendlier but Sky's quality was fine. Sky, Ceta and Metro are all close together in Soho. I haven't used Metro so can't comment from personal experience but they have a good reputation. All their prices are similar. I'm not sure Ceta does a process and scan option but their web site would tell you.

david_graham1 Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 If you want to save money then I am told the following are good value: Promises - Goldhawk Road Flash - Harrow Road and Ladbroke Grove Genesis - 020 7731 2227 - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
