Launderette & Dry Cleaning

Great little place. On vacation from US, went twice while in London, super helpful and friendly. Owner even helped my wife and daughter hale a cab back to hotel

Heed the tip below. You will get no refund for putting 20p coins into the washers and then wondering why it doesn’t start.

It bothers me to write such a bad review, especially since I used this launderette once before and was pleased with the service. However, today was just terrible and I will never go back again. Here’s the story:
I called the launderette ahead of time as I needed to wash one large item (i.e. big washing machine, and over an hour to dry). I was told that as long as I arrived by 3:30 it would be fine as they closed at 5:00. I arrived at 2:30 to be safe and proceeded to wash my item. Despite being happy to pay for the full service, the woman working said she did not have enough time to do it (even though it takes less than a minute to transfer one item to the dryer). So back and forth I went between my flat and the launderette and what should have taken me 10 minutes total, actually took over 2 hours.
In addition, despite being open until 5:00, there is a ridiculous sign that says outsiders can’t use dryers in the last hour. So basically no human being could possibly wash and dry their laundry in the time frame I was told. On top of this, the woman told me she needed to clean up and leave by 5:00, so I actually had to leave EARLIER than closing time (even though my item was still wet!). Because of this, she refused to give me change for the dryer and I had to go to the kebab place next door to get it.
As a paying customer, I expect the store to honour the hours it advertises — I shouldn’t be told to come in and then be thrown out in the middle of my laundry service. I definitely shouldn’t have to pay over 15 pounds for a wet duvet.
For everyone’s reference: there are plenty of good launderettes in the area that are much cheaper than this one. Do yourself a favour and avoid this place, as the service has clearly fallen off.

It’s surprising how difficult it is to find a coin-​op laundry around here. This one was so highly rated on Unilocal so I have it a shot. I did a load of laundry myself for about 7.50 pounds. 1 pound for soap, 3 to wash and 3.50 to dry. I’ve read some reviews that claim it’s a similar price to let them wash and dry, and might try that next time. The guy that runs this place is super nice and helpful; changed my 20 pound note without any problem. Will definitely return once I’m out of clean clothes.

This is a fantastic little launderette with very affordable dry cleaning. As an FYI, they are cash only but it is totally worth it. Turnaround time is good as well.

Excellent customer service!!! Drop of a suitcase of laundry come back 5pm folded and fresh! Under 10 pounds!

Tiny shop that does what it says it will, efficiently, cheaply, and with a smile. Same-​day wash-​and-​fold service for a smallish load of laundry cost me £8.60, and they made sure to ask if I had any items that couldn’t go in the dryer. Thanks!

I love this little shop. Efficient, quality and friendly service!

Isn’t it so much more pleasant to be served by someone who seems to be happy in their job? That’s certainly the case here at this local launderette and dry cleaners. The service is friendly, helpful and comes with a smile. Unless they seriously mess something up a dry cleaning business is much the same as another really. So it pays to make your customers feel welcome. It’s not the nearest place that does cleaning and alterations to where I live or work but it’s on my route and I would rather stop off here than go anywhere else.
