Where to buy 35mm film? Hi there, Londoners of Reddit!
I'm going to be visiting London for the first time in two weeks (also my first solo trip!), and I'll be staying for 4 days. I've been searching on Google trying to find camera stores that still sell 35mm film in the city, but all I've found is a Lomography store. Does anyone know of any other stores that sell 35mm film?

If you're central in the west-end, near to Soho, Oxford Circus and Tottenham Court Road, you have [Aperture](http://www.apertureuk.com/). Also, quite near to Victoria station one can find a fantastic shop called [Mr. Cad's](http://www.mrcad.co.uk/). Both of these shops have extremely helpful and friendly staff and they both sell Ektar and Portra.
Film processing in London recommendations please I recently inherited a fully working [Kodak Pocket No. 1 camera](http://camerapedia.wikia.com/wiki/Pocket_Kodak_No._1_series_II) and managed to get some 120 film for it.
Now I'd like to get the film developed - where would the photographers of /r/London recommend for a good service?

I'm hoping someone will have a great answer. I've considered [Aperture](http://www.apertureuk.com/) on Rathbone Place in Fitzrovia, but I think it was a bit too pricey for me. I've also thought about trying [Photochats](https://chatspalace.com/events/photochats-at-chats-palace/all/) at Chats Palace in Homerton. It's a workshop, so more DIY. But it also seems to have stopped, unless they are just being on their website updates.

Aperture on Rathbourne Pl. was the best I used for 120 film. Cheap for C41 & BW.
Can anyone recommend someone/somewhere local that can repair an autofocus Nikon DSLR lens please?
Thanks.

Not really local, but Fixation in Vauxhall are considered the best anywhere in the country, though not cheap. http://www.fixationuk.com/ I have also used Aperture UK near Tottenham Ct Rd. They were slower and the one time they did a lens repair for me it had to go back a couple of times for further work. Willing to suspect the lens had an underlying fault with it. http://www.apertureuk.com/ If an AF-S motor needs replacing, that's usually a write-off.
Are any of you able to repair & clean analogue cameras or know anyone/anywhere that does? I have two that are in desperate need of some love! Any help would be really appreciated.
