London Darkrooms

[kardo]

Hi everyone,
Right now I send my films to the lab to be devloped and printed but I would like to learn black and white printing, later maybe color as well, in a darkroom. it is something I have always wanted learn. I was wondering if any one knows of places in London, West London preferably, where I can do a short course also once I learn, do any one recommends any good darkrooms for hire?
I would like to create my own eventually but right now I don't have much space but hopefully will do in the future.

Many thanks for your help
Kardo

Around the Westend, Hammersmith, Kensington area. I live in the middle of those.
There is one round the corner from me in the Kensington and Chelsea college vut it starts in October.

I use www.thecameraclub.co.uk

Reasonably priced, but perhaps a little out of the way for you.

They don't offer too much in the way of courses, just one every now and then to teach you how to dev and print black and white film. There is a guy there who I'm fairly sure will do 1 to 1 tuition though.
