Wash and dry


Recommended Posts

After many years as a launderette at 213 Lordship Lane. East Dulwich. SE22 8JF I have to due to many reasons close the shop on 31 MARCH 2023 permanently.

The property will be sold in the coming months.


Thank you to all who have used the shop. The two people who started the shop have now both died.

It was still open on Sunday afternoon when I went past.

That’s great to hear. Does anyone have a tel no or email address for them.


If anyone doesn’t know, the dry cleaners on LL next to Post Office, uses them to wash the duvets brought into them for cleaning and just jacks up the price. I used to think they had a washer and dryer in the back.

Oh dear.

1. "...me and my children love this shop" - That's because you work there.

2. "...a member of staff on she hilarious & always makes us laugh think her name Sarah" - That's you. You are Sarah.

3. "...not forgetting Jo so helpful" - Would that be Joanne Coe? I'll hazard a guess that she is your sister or mother as you both work there and have the same surname.

 

You really have to get up much earlier to pull the wool over the eyes of this group, we've seen at all before,

"Crushed and devalued" springs to mind .... 

If there's anybody still left in East Dulwich who remembers those forum days ...

I wonder if there's a way for some of us to pool together and purchase the laundrette. It's been over a year and the building is just there, closed. 

Also as the last Laundrette would be nice if we could revive it.

    • Thanks for the link! I should have thought to add that. If you click on "artists" in the menu, there is information about the artists, but it's very difficult to relate it to the map when you can't print off the map (at least I haven't been able to, but I've only tried from my phone so far).
    • Do you mean the small charity shop on Lordship Lane just before you get to the roundabout? Near the pharmacist? Can't remember what it's called. The Mind Shop is the one on the corner after  you have crossed  the road to go to the station, and I'm pretty sure the jeweller/watch repairer wasn't there - it was actually on Lordship Lane, at the roundabout end though. Crikey, I had forgotten about the video shop. The stationers was a strange place, but they sold art stuff as well which was sometimes useful. Then some time later there was that large place - ED Deli? - next to the EDT, which had very yummy Florentines, but seemed to go into a gradual decline until it eventually closed. If it had opened a bit later it might have survived, but probably gentrification wasn't sufficiently advanced at that point. Platform 1 was for a series of pop up restaurants, wasn't it? Or at least, a restaurant with a series of pop up chefs. I don't recall it ever being a cocktail bar? And they were originally going to call it a very rude name ( which sadly I can't remember,  but I think it may have been Pussy Liquor  - I don't think they were cat owners) and there was a whole thread on here where various people pointed out that it wasn't a very appropriate name, so they changed it 🤣🤣🤣 I think someone must have thought it was hilarious because I think Meat Liquor had just opened down the road ...  For a short time there was a very good South Indian vegetarian restaurant, but hardly anybody went to it, and sadly it closed. Again, it might have survived now, it was probably a bit too early in the gentrification process.
    • I don't know any of these people or many places but it is good reading x
    • When was that? I don't remember that place at all! The double fronted place, I mean. Sorry to hear about Dave. Kebab and Stab! The underbelly of East Dulwich in the back room in the early hours! (Once you got past the guy on the door). Don't remember punch ups in The Palmerston, just trouble in The Uplands Tavern (now The Actress). And whatever happened to the Moulin? Every so often someone on here says the place is going to reopen as something or other, but it never does. Black Cherry lasted longer than the Draft House (?) which replaced it, if memory serves. I agree it wasn't particularly memorable, but it did decent cocktails, and I think it had games (because I have a vague memory of knocking a newly bought cocktail over whilst playing one of the games. I think that might have been on the day of the cocktail crawl 😄) It was an odd space because it was on two levels, with the back part up a couple of stairs, until Franco Manca made it all one level.
