B/W processing in London

I'm sure this subject has come up before, though with so many labs closing down it doesn't hurt to ask the question again. I'm looking for recommendations for black and white processing here in London, preferably a well run but reasonably cheap dip and dunk system. To preempt those who quite rightly tell me I ought to do it myself, with the number of rolls i sometimes need to do, logistically it is becoming too much of chore! I'm a big fan of Xtol so any recommendations of a lab using that would be nice. Many thanks in advance.

Hi

 

The simplest thing to do is to use a chromogenic like XP2, or Fuji or Kodak equivalent and drop it off at mini lab place.

I'm wedded to my Trix I'm afraid Noel, so I need a silver B/W process, but thanks anyway. To make matters worse, I'm not fond of Tmax RS, which is what they often put in dip and dunk systems these days!

On a separate note, apologies for almost duplicating a similar thread below, which i didn't originally see.

I have recently switched processor to Red Eye in Old Street.

Although they have some great colour darkrooms there and specialist in that for professional work, they will develop black and white too. The quality and service is very good, as is the price. I don't remember how much they charged me for a 35mm film, but I get my 120 rolls of black and white done there for £4.50

Hi Nick

 

If I did that I would end up sitting in Ivor's leather chair drinking Elaine's coffee and Ivor would have my plastic in his PIN card reader...
