How much is a strip at W Hotel, and can I pay by card?
Free for a strip. Cash only — bring coins or small notes.
Is W Hotel a real film photo booth or a digital one?
We list only analog booths, but we haven't confirmed the machine details for this one. If you've used it, tell us what it is.
Do I need to book, or can I just walk up to W Hotel?
Just walk up. It's a coin-op booth, not a hire service — no booking, no attendant. If the venue is open, the booth is on.
How many photos do you get at W Hotel, and how long does it take?
One strip of four shots for Free. The machine takes the four in quick succession, then develops the strip on the spot — usually three to five minutes before it drops into the slot.
What time can I use the booth at W Hotel?
We don't have the hours yet. It's inside the venue, so go during their normal opening times, and check ahead if you're travelling far.
How do I get to W Hotel?
It's at Leicester Square, Soho, London. Pop the address into your maps app for directions.
Can I get into W Hotel with a wheelchair or a pram?
We haven't checked access at this venue. Classic booths have a fixed bench and a curtain, so the booth itself is a tight fit; the venue's own access is the thing to ask them about.
What if the booth at W Hotel is out of order when I get there?
It happens — these machines are decades old. Scroll to "Nearest booths" in London for the closest alternative, and tap "Report an issue" so we can flag it for everyone else.

About W Hotel
Based at the luxurious cosmopolitan W Hotel, Leicester Square. Transformed a once unused space into an extravagant guest experience. This bespoke photo installation features a full-length two-way mirror; motion sensors to activate filament bulbs – creating a unique ambiance, and a touch screen for social sharing.
W Hotel is listed at Leicester Square, Soho, London, United Kingdom. This location operates a vintage-styled digital photo booth rather than a wet-chemistry darkroom machine.
The booth is currently listed as working. No opening hours are published for this listing, so treat the host venue's own hours as the limit. A strip costs Free. It takes cash; card payment has not been confirmed here, so bring notes or coins.
Unlike traditional dip-and-dunk silver-halide machines that take three to five minutes to process paper through liquid darkroom chemistry, this booth in London uses a digital camera and instant thermal or dye-sublimation printer inside a classic booth enclosure. After coins or a card start the session, the camera fires four poses in quick succession and delivers a dry, ready-to-pocket photo strip into the exterior tray in roughly 15 to 45 seconds.
For the sharpest four-frame strip in London, adjust the stool or bench so your eyes sit level with the lens window before inserting payment, and hold each pose until the flash completes. Digital dye-sublimation and thermal prints emerge dry and smudge-resistant, but keeping the strip out of direct dashboard sunlight and away from PVC plastic sleeves will preserve contrast and prevent thermal fading over time.
