Yes
I used to get my jpgs printed at Jessops, but the ones that were convenient to me have all closed down.

Any one recommend any other photo printing establishments online or physically located in around London (Liverpool St.), Croydon or Purley?

I have more than 200 photos (12Mp) to be printed on 6x4/ 7x5 mostly and have a reasonable internet connection.

Cheers
 
Had my wedding photos printed at DSCL on recommendations from here and well happy with them. Great price if your doing large-ish orders.
I'll be getting some A4/A3 prints from them soon, great quality.
I used photobox before (maybe cheaper for small numbers but ordered a while ago) and my order was fine - tho others suggest quality might be a bit variable from them.
I've used Boots at Liverpool St btw - passable if you need a few same-day but not as good as DSCL. Wasn't very happy with a book I got printed there.
Oh, there's also theprintspace nearby in Shoreditch - fine art/high quality printers. Not used but they've got a lot of equipment on site, even have colour managed editing booths. You do pay for it though.

Photobox used to be very good (prints looked just as they did on my monitor, and were printed on Fuji Crystal Archive I think) but it's been a while now since I've had prints done ...

DSCL seemed to saturate and sharpen without being asked to, so what came back was a little more garish than my intent ...

Try half a dozen prints from each. Hopefully you'll have made some attempt to calibrate your screen for colour and tonal range, at least by eye matched against a known print output ...

Send typically in sRGB and at 300 dpi for finished print size (but see each lab's instructions).
