what for, passport sized photos?

That chemist near to The Beehive does them.

Chemist on Brixton Hill (Hill Rise) also does them

Snappy Snaps round the corner from Body Shop will do you passport photos while U wait, very quick.

 

[Belushi]

Balham and Streatham Common Station have booths.

So will the two chemists I just mentioned

Not in your area but in mine the post office and WH Smiths - might be worth a swerve. £4.00 for 4 passport jobbies.

There's a booth in the Sainsburys in Clapham.

 

[isvicthere?]

Thanks, folks. Mrs. Vic is en route to Clapham Sainsbo's.

Tesco Acre Lane also has one too (but be warned, they tend to turn it off about 25 minutes before closing time for the store as a whole)

I'm pretty sure there's one in the Post Office in Ferndale Road. Anyone confirm this?

(Snappy Snaps has long gone now)

Tbh whenever I'm in there I go into a self-inposed coma so no idea

I think there's a place in the Latin Boulevard that does passport photos.

 

[Winot]

There was a place opposite LS Mash fishmongers on Atlantic Rd that did them (or was that Snappy Snaps?).

There's a place in Brixton Village does them while you wait, cheap too.

Herne Hill station still has a booth (in case vic's still looking over two years later.)

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Having been to Morrison's in Streatham today, I can confirm there is one there

 

[Greebo]

Still one upstairs in Streatham WHSmith just by the foreign currency bit upstairs (there's a lift right at the back of the shop).

I must be blind, as I always get the lift upstairs to the Post Office and last time I went, I made a point to look out for photo booth

Head for the foreign currency counter, but stop just before you get there. Look to your left, and you've got a load of forms (DVLA, passport etc) in front of you. Walk along there a couple of paces and there's the photo booth. It's very well hidden.

Before the foreign currency counter (ie. on the left), is sort of above the stairs and there's jigsaw puzzles and games there, or are you talking in front of that but before the counters?

Find the jigsaw puzzles. Walk around them, not towards the stairs, but aiming for the wall. It's tucked right into that corner.

I knew there was one in there as I remember seeing it when the PO first opened, but I've obviously missed it ever since

Two places I can get my pictures done now. Of course, if I was sensible, I could have had them done yesterday in Morrison's

Cheers btw for the confirmation that it does indeed exist

No problem. Better luck finding it next time.

I finally got my photos done today in Morrison's.

Some information about photo booths nowadays. (I've not used one for about 30 years. Think the last time I went in one was when I was at school).

1) They are now touch screen and speak to you giving you instructions
2) The one I used cost £5
3) You have a choice of photos
4) If you pick one option (ie. for a bus pass/train pass), it will warn you that it may not be suitable for passport
5) It asks you which of the four photos you would like to be your final photo
6) I had to turn and turn and turn and turn and turn and turn and turn the very squeaky and cranky seat to get my eyes to eye level height and I had visions of half of Morrison shoppers thinking "wtf is she doing in there?" In fact, I reckon it took longer raising the seat to the correct height than it took to take the four photos
7) My first three photos looked like I'd had a stroke
8) My theory is that my face wasn't lined up with the little face box underneath the photo space, but I may be wrong and may have suffered a stroke
9) They print the photos really fast
10) The photos are absolutely bloody awful but I suppose that happens when you get old

So there you have. That's the photo booth of today
