Best Black and White lab - Ilford Lab Direct
I still love developing and printing my own photographs at home; nothing beats a monochrome photograph made with a mechanical camera and chemicals. However, when I don’t have the time, I use http://www.ilfordlab.com/ , who are sadly a lot better than I am at the whole process.
They won a Gold Award from Digitial Photo magazine, and from my experience with them, it was well deserved. They’re more focussed on quality over price, but for special prints that I need done well, they’re my first point of call.
I’d be interested to hear how the largest print they do, 30*40, turns out; if you get one, please do get in touch– I can be reached at ben@benevansphotography.com, or here 
on Twitter.
