Hey Denny - these are the nearest (but not that near I'm afraid) eco printers I know of.:

Calverts Co-op (Oval) http://www.calverts.coop/index.php
SPM (Rotherhithe) http://www.spmprint.com/index.html
Upstream Co-op (Peckham) http://www.upstream.coop/

I've not used any of them yet so can't personally reccommend but found them on:
Lovely As A Tree http://www.lovelyasatree.com/index.htm and
Paper Print Environment http://www.ppe.uk.net/index.php

Hope helpful...
Rache

I remember Nick gave me some info on an eco-printing firm a while ago in relation to the WEF leaflet, but they are based in Brighton:
" Just to let you know that we're using this printer (http://www.alocalprinter.com/) for our business cards - using 100% recycled FSC paper, and environmentally-friendly vegetable-based inks.
(nb. they also have a second-to-none Green Printing Policy: http://www.alocalprinter.com/uk/green-printing/)"

Battersea Labour Party has a colour risograph which you could try - I'm sure they (if they don't already) could supply recycled paper - can't comment on the inks. The quality is very good.

The contact details are ring Sara, Bindu or Su on 020 7223 5306 - they are based on Lavender Hill.

I recently used the services of PDQ in Colliers Wood for photocopying on recycled paper. They stock Evolve 100% recycled business paper - http://www.evolve-papers.com/en/index.php?content_ID=3 - which has a good quality though I'm not sure what percentage (if any) of the recycled waste paper is post consumer.

Not sure if they have/use eco friendly inks:

Thanks for all your comments! I went to Printalicious in the end, which is based on St John's Hill. They don't stock recycled paper, but will print on it if you bring your own in!

All your suggestions were really helpful but in the timescale I had I needed somewhere really local. I'll look into all your suggestions, however, next time I need something done - thanks for the contact details!
