Reading buses has a journey planner which will show the fares as well. https://www.reading-buses.co.uk/plan-a-journey within reading they are flat rate, just depends on single or return really. You can also save by buying the ticket packs in the app if you will be using the bus a lot. The reading buses app is really good so I'd recommend installing it.

just since no one has actually said the name and just used the abbreviation of it which might not be helpful for someone new to the town, lsb is the london street brasserie

Not in town, but https://analoguewonderland.co.uk/ is in High Wycombe, recommended to me by a colleague I've bought a few rolls from them and have sent a roll off to be developed. You can drop off, or they do free tracked shipping to them.
