Try DS Colour Labs... Google them they're well known.

I use Analogue Wonderland. If you buy your film from them, the packaging can easily be re-used to send the exposed film back. I have only used their developing service for colour films, but would recommend them for black and white as well. They provide scans online, rather than on disc.

The Darkroom UK. Not cheap but very quick and good quality. The scans are sent to you via wetransfer.com.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

I've used Analogue Wonderland, FilmDev, AG Labs, all with satisfaction. Now I mostly have gone back to dev and scanning myself for b&w, only sending off colour.

i develop B&W myself. once you have the kit it's much cheaper.
For colour i use a lab near work in East London called Analogue Films, they also have some stock for sale and are reasonably priced (cheaper than AW, but a more limited stock).
Analogue Films do B&W processing too.
Pentax k1000, MX, ME Super, K5iiD 18-55, Tamron 70-300, Tamron 500 mirror, pentax 10-17, 50 1:4, a manual 28, some extension tubes and a bagful of memory cards. That's all i need... and a load of film cameras too... that's it, honest.

Our own Peter Elgar does B&W developing for very little outlay. Granted, you don't get scans, but the standard of work for developing and returning the negatives is excellent.

Thanks for the 'Plug' !!! Yes I have 2-bath , RODINAL, 510-Pyro, Pyrocat HD on the go at the moment.
PM me for details -- you need to send me a Stamped Envelope long enough to take neg strips cut into 4 for 35mm and i can do 120 and 220 B&W as well
