John Waite was extremely helpful, he scanned and saved my negatives giving incredible bespoke support as any artist/photographer dreams of. Well, there is a gem in London and it is Metro Imaging. John also, with huge understanding, helped me to match my colours (from my darkroom prints) with the printing files, and that is invaluable for any photographer who wants a professional that understands colours. If you need that, ask to sit with John Waite! Thank you Metro - Thank you, Tony - Thank you, John!

I think they are the best in London. For black&white definitely try their silver gelatin prints. Customer experience can be improved. If they don't answer your emails keep trying or pay them a visit.

Tony was extremely helpful . I'd also like to commend them on employing the less fortunate amongst us . David hilton really wouldn't be able to work anywhere else but they've kept him on even through covid when there have been no tea runs to do or dark rooms to clean .

Metro Imaging were recommended to me by a photographer friend as I had some old negatives I wanted to get decent scans of. The service was quick, v. friendly and all the options available to me were explained in a simple fashion! Thank you, I will be sure to use you again in the near future!

Almost a month and no product. Poor customer service, was told they'd get back to me on 2 separate occasions regarding the location of the package and never was. Would not recommend using this service, can't comment on the product itself.

I sent an image for printing that was really special to me although in terms of quality, was just a snapshot taken on my rather old ‘phone.
After some adjustments, my image arrived the next day, beautifully packaged and I was thrilled with it .
The company were friendly and responsive and I’m sure they usually deal with much bigger and better orders than mine, so I would recommend them to anyone needing a great printing service .

Used to develop a roll of colour reversal film which due to a non-standard camera format I needed returned uncut. Came back perfectly, and with a very fast turnaround too. Recommended, will use again!

I brought some wedding photos to Metro Imaging to be cropped and printed and couldn't be happier with the result. Manish was incredibly friendly, helpful and talented, providing small retouches where he could see the images would benefit from them. One small note of feedback is the friendliness of the front desk staff. There seemed to be a bit of an attitude, a smile goes a long way in customer service.

Coordinated for the printing and framing of an important artwork. Service was excellent; process was seamless; work needed to be boxed and delivered across the country and everything was done in excellent fashion. Rarefied experience all round.

Processing was done correctly and in a timely manner. Stored nicely. Delivered on-time. Images were not correctly dried, leaving marks across the negatives. See image attached, a scan I did at home after Metro's processing. Fixable, but not ideal. Prices are not competitive.

Decided to have my pics developed here cos it is close to my work place but it's not for the amateur photographer. The guy just gave me negatives when i went back for the pics cos i told him to develop it and not print it, had to pay extra to had them print, and i had a disagreeing look with "you should have gone to Boots". Well now i know.
