This review actually is based on my experience w/the shop in Oxford. Several issues w/my Nikon…read moreDSLR. First, had left the battery back home in the U.S. I called first, and then went to the store -- new battery. VERY nice, knowledgeable shop associates. Then -- I dropped my camera shattering the skylight filter which, thank goodness I always keep on my camera. Went back to the same shop and again, courteous, knowledgeable service from very nice people. Hope you don't have the same problems while traveling, but if you do, this is obviously the place to go for assistance. I believe they have locations across England. Saw one in London, too.

Photo development with a little sharing of life dreams added in there…read more Really nice salesperson helped me fill out my film developing envelope, let me know that getting a cd of the pictures would cost more later, and then ended the transaction with telling me her life dream is to go see Celine Dion in concert in Las Vegas (after discovering where Im from). A 35mm roll of color film plus cd was about 9 pounds. I might skip the cd next time and just scan the ones I want to post online later. But great experience there. I was there ages ago for passport photos. Easy peasy process that time too.

Welcome to the Leica Shrine of Saint James's in Pall Mall!…read moreWell I must say, this camera shop is the most helpful, honest and decent. All the retail sales staff at Richard Caplan's have always been good to me. The retail customer service at Richard Caplan Photographic Ltd is seriously superb, and the staff here are always helpful unlike some of the other camera shops in central London, especially that camera store on the Strand (I would avoid them at all costs) As with these guys at Saint James's', I would always shop and part with my money at Richard Caplan's of Pall Mall. Remember R.G. Lewis in Holborn? From back in the day? Well, to me, Richard Caplan Photograhic Ltd is basically the reincarnation of the now defunct R.G. Lewis shop; and also I'm pleased to announce that Mr Len Lyons (owner of R.G. Lewis) is working for Mr Caplan's shop, three days per week: Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday. Jakub, Siyu, Emil, Len and of course Mr Caplan (the owner and managing director) are always accommodating with all their customers; which is somewhat a very rare sight in today's world of the photographic retail trade.

The second hand prices are fine considering what it is they sell although as with everywhere you get ripped off on memory cards. I rather like the place and would probably pop in regularly for a nose around if it was local. So in summary I guess If you'd like a Leica this place is alright.

This is one of the last best places to buy 35mm & 120 film stock in London, the prices are…read morecompetitive enough to make me dust off my Lomo & my Bronica and get away from the seductive convenience of digital stills! It's also a one stop shop for all your photoshoot needs with friendly service thrown in!

I wanted to appreciate the guys at Snappy Snaps because they're consistently helpful getting little…read moredaily jobs done like printing and copying for The Happiness Centre a few doors away. They help us out with printing A5 and A4 coloured posters for promotions at the last minute. And when we need a bunch of photocopies done, we just email it through and pop in to collect.

To compliment there poor range of gift cards? A mystery! You can buy all your local newspapers here and it's good to save a bit of cash on your cinema sweeties if you're visiting the odeon. One of the only two places in Muswell hill where you can top up your oyster card which comes in very handy although it does shut at 7.

This place is fantastic! Diamond Photos are excellent for processing high quality photographic…read moreprints. My friend who is an ex-photographic colour processing lecturer always takes his photographs there for printing and enlarging, as do several other photographers we know. Very good, friendly service and I wouldn't go anywhere else for my printing.

I left the Wood Green shop about an hour ago and I am still flabbergasted with the level of…read morecustomer service I received there. We don't experience this very often nowadays and I would give 9 million stars, if I could. I was greeted by a gentleman, as soon as I approached the counter. After less than a minute, he was already on the shop floor explaining about the variety of Androids he had for sale. I was looking for a phone and, being one of those annoying customers who don't understand a thing about those products, I felt so looked after by this incredibly kind man. He was pointing at different phones, prices and highlighting the features of each product. As if this was not already good enough, I mentioned I had an issue with my phone an he said immediately he could have a look at it. After calling VIRGIN 9 times asking for help, I was sure nobody else would be able to sort out the issue. How astonished I was, when he gave me my phone back and everything was up and running. He did (in a matter of minutes), what nobody could do in days. An absolute legend ! I do not know if he is the Manager there, but his name is Jonathan and I am extremely grateful for his assistance and for his fantastic customer service. Such an asset to team !!!! Because of him, I will not only recommend the shop, but I will also visit it again soon to buy another phone. Merci du fond du cœr pour votre aide. J'en suis vraiment reconnaissant !

I went to CEX because of a lost phone. I was in need of a quick replacement to get in touch with…read moremy elderly family abroad. I bought a Nokia phone with a Virgin SIM after the clerk told me that it was unlockable at CeX. Thinking that I could unlock the phone with CeX, I went ahead and purchased the phone. Only to find out later that CeX DOES NOT unlock this type of phone. Now I am stuck with a phone that I cannot even use. On top of that, they took the SIM card back so I'm stuck without that as well. I went back for two days in a row to try and fix the situation. Finally, I decided to go to some local phone shops just to get a proper explanation. They were quick to let me know.... I got a a raw deal and that only a fool would buy a phone like that. This has left me emotionally distraught as I can't get in touch with my family. I haven't seen my family in four years and this was my only means of contact. Thank you for everybody who is reading this page. I hope this never happens to you. God bless you all!
