Where to buy film near Rochester in London?

I looked at a few and NTphotoworks looks to be the best. I'm not sure if my new school allows me to ship it to them, so it would be the best near Rochester. Thanks

I'm not sure where Rochester is in London, but Process Supplies is a very well know London photographic business, getting close to being 100 years old!

If you can order online also look at
silverprint.co.uk

If you can order online use www.macodirect.de , based in Germany.
I find them the cheapest in Europe, including shipping to the UK.

Thanks for the links 🙂 looks like buying individuals is cheaper over there right?

Rochester is Kent, not London. Pretty little town where Charles Dickens lived. The whole area is lovely, charming Georgian houses, but run-down and Brexit-central in parts.

There is a fairly large retailer in the town itself:

In theory it would be a very quick trip to London by train but that would be back in Victorian times, it's a nightmare now! Enjoy your stay.

 

[jusxusfanatic]

Haha, thanks 🙂 I'm studying over there, so I do hope I l enjoy staying there

Silverprint offer a student discount

I often use discount films direct
If you want cheapo colour film, try the local Poundland

Oops forgot about that, thanks 🙂 pretty expensive!

KIAD? -- As it was when I knew people there. Great place. Somewhat run-down and regressive city, though, unless it has changed a lot.

Mail-order your film. Unless you can get it from the college.

Cheers,

R.

Poundland do 35mm Agfa Vista 24 exposure 200 ISO which is not bad at all, and it's only a pound! Some stores don't have it so worth giving them a ring if travel is a pain. I think it's normally with the blank CDs etc. Otherwise, if you're in the UK for a while, you could go mail order at 7dayshop.com

For small quantities, Boots (the High Street) chemist often stock film including Ilford 120 roll film - not all branches and the stock levels are variable. Sometimes there are 'three for two' offers etc. Work having a lot and asking if that branch doesn't keep film, do the staff know which other local branches sell film as they may know.
