Passport Photo - Photo Booths in Chiswick?

Does anyone know where there are photo booths in Chiswick now, please?  I assume the Post Office in Central Chiswick where I used to get them done has now closed so need an alternative.  Thank you.

Snappy Snaps at corner of Turnham Green Terrace does them. A walk-in service does four passport pics and also emails to you. Costs £13.99.

There is a machine in  Sainsbury's. It also tells you if the photo you have taken meets the Passport requirements.

The lights are far too bright in those booths.

Brilliant, thank you for your help.

Snappy Snaps were excellent when I did mine

I too would recommend snappy snaps. Might be more expensive but you know they will pass passport office criteria which is in my view worth it. Can also decide which you prefer before printing takes place.

I also recommend Snappy Snaps. My passport (via the online service) was ready within a few days.

Snappy Snaps have an excellent service

Unfortunately time is of the essence. I applied to the passport office a few weeks ago and uploaded a photo.  A couple of weeks later they said the photo wasn't in the right format. They have now said they can only give me to August 2 to provide the right photo or they will cancel the application but will keep the fee.  B..st.s.  I won't be able to go into Chiswick until next Friday so looks like it will have to be Sainsburys.  But thanks for all the help.

Did they say what the "right format" is ? Our last 3 passport renewals have all been done using a photo taken on a iPhone and uploaded to the passport website - where they were automatically validated and cropped and there were no issues. Sure, there are some simple rules to follow but it was hardly rocket science.

I had the same experience as Simon.  It couldn’t have been easier.
