London applicants follow the same HM Passport Office photo rules as applicants elsewhere in the UK. This guide helps you choose a submission method; it does not list verified shops, opening hours, prices, or booth availability.

Choose the application method first

For an online application, GOV.UK describes obtaining a photo code from a shop or booth, or taking a photograph with help during the application. Digital photos must be unaltered, at least 600 pixels wide and 750 pixels tall, and between 50 KB and 10 MB. If using your own device, follow the capture instructions rather than pre-cropping the image. Official digital photo guidance.

Paper applications require two identical printed photographs, 35 × 45 mm. Follow the separate printed-photo instructions. Do not assume a driving-licence photo or a processed digital download also meets passport instructions.

Finding a provider in London

Before visiting a shop or booth, ask whether it supports the photo code or print format your application requires. Confirm accessibility, service availability, and price directly with the provider. PixPassVisa has not verified local listings on this page.

What our tool can do

The UK photo preparation tool provides a preview and selected automated checks. It does not issue an HMPO photo code. Background replacement or other editing may conflict with passport instructions; a purchased download does not guarantee acceptance.

Checks and previews are free. Processed downloads require a one-time payment at the price shown before checkout. Keep your original and retake the photo when necessary.
