Which London drop-off should you use?

Tapes To Digital has two by-appointment drop-offs in London. Pick whichever is nearer you — the price, the turnaround and the files you get back are identical at both.

Tapes To Digital drop-off in Brixton, south London

Brixton — south London

Choose Brixton if you are south of the river. Tapes To Digital's Brixton drop-off serves Herne Hill, Camberwell, Clapham, Streatham, Dulwich, Stockwell, Tulse Hill, Kennington and Peckham.

It is by appointment, not a shopfront — the exact address arrives in your booking confirmation.

Tape formats Tapes To Digital converts in London

VHS to Digital in London

VHS to Digital in London

VHS tapes deteriorate rapidly, often producing fuzzy playback. Tapes To Digital converts them on professional converters at its Brixton and Southall drop-offs into an archival master file and an MP4. £15 per tape, dropping to £13 per tape on orders of 30 or more.

MiniDV to Digital in London

MiniDV to Digital in London

If you filmed school plays, birthdays or family events on MiniDV, now is the time to save them. Tapes To Digital's professional converters capture every detail and every sound, and your original cassettes are always returned to you.

Video8 to Digital in London

Video8 to Digital in London

Video8 was one of the earliest compact camcorder formats, and after decades in storage these tapes often suffer colour fading, static and playback errors. Tapes To Digital digitises Video8 on professional converters, producing stable, clear files.

Hi8 to Digital in London

Hi8 to Digital in London

Hi8 offered sharper pictures than Video8, but the tapes are just as fragile. Tapes To Digital transfers Hi8 on professional converters, preserving picture and sound detail while correcting problems such as shaky playback and muffled audio.

Digital8 to Digital in London

Digital8 to Digital in London

Digital8 brought digital recording to the 8mm tape family, but these cassettes often cause compatibility problems on ageing camcorders. Tapes To Digital transfers Digital8 on professional converters at the same per-tape price as VHS.

8mm and Super 8 Film to Digital

8mm and Super 8 Film to Digital

8mm and Super 8 are cine film reels, not tapes, so Tapes To Digital prices them by reel diameter from £19 per reel rather than per tape. Six reel sizes are accepted, from 3″ to 9″.

Camcorder Tapes to Digital in London

Camcorder Tapes to Digital in London

VHS-C, MiniDV, Video 8, Hi8 and Digital 8 camcorder cassettes all convert at the same per-tape price as full-size VHS, and a mixed order counts together for the bulk discount at Tapes To Digital.

VHS to Digital in London — Your Questions Answered

Where can I convert VHS to digital in London?

Use whichever is nearer you. Tapes To Digital's Brixton drop-off suits south London — Herne Hill, Camberwell, Clapham, Streatham, Dulwich, Stockwell, Tulse Hill, Kennington and Peckham. Tapes To Digital's Southall drop-off suits west London — Ealing, Hayes, Greenford, Hanwell, Northolt, Norwood Green, Heston, Yeading, West Drayton and Hounslow. The price, the turnaround and the files you get back are identical at both.

Do I need an appointment to drop tapes off in London?

Tapes To Digital charges £15 per tape for 1–4 tapes, £14.50 for 5–10, £14 for 11–20, £13.50 for 21–30 and £13 for 30 or more, at both London drop-offs and on post-in orders. The same per-tape price covers VHS, VHS-C, MiniDV, Video 8, Hi8, Digital 8, Betamax and audio cassettes, and a mixed order counts together for the bulk discount. DVD copies are £6 per disc.

How long does VHS to digital conversion take in London?

Most orders at Tapes To Digital's London drop-offs are ready in 7–10 working days from the day we receive your tapes, and often sooner. If you need them by a particular date, say so when you book and Tapes To Digital will tell you straight away whether we can meet it.

Where are my tapes actually converted?

Everyday formats are converted on professional converters at the Tapes To Digital drop-off you used, in Brixton or Southall. Rarer and specialist formats are sent to Tapes To Digital's UK lab in Farnborough, Hampshire, where the equipment for those formats is kept. Your tapes stay with Tapes To Digital throughout, and your original tapes are always returned to you.

Can I post my tapes instead of dropping them off in London?

Yes. If neither London drop-off is convenient, you can post your tapes to Tapes To Digital from anywhere in the UK at the same per-tape price, and your originals are returned to you. Every conversion includes an MP4 and an archival master file at the same price.

What happens if a tape is blank or mouldy?

There is no charge for blank tapes or for anything Tapes To Digital cannot recover — you pay only for footage we actually transfer. Tapes To Digital cleans and repairs tapes with mould or debris from £13 per tape, and we tell you before we start if a tape needs it. We cannot tell how long a tape runs until we transfer it, so we confirm the final count with you.
