I do the same as you - but also add noise and use the unsharp mask to give me that rougher look that B&W allows. Sometimes I will use a coloured filter too - they can transform a normal picture into something more spectacular. Curves is a good tool to lift the flatness from a B&W picture to make it more 'edgey'.
In true Blue Peter style...here is one I prepared earlier.
