Laundry in Barbican, street by street

Every neighbourhood washes differently. Here is Barbican, as our drivers see it.

Flats without drying space

Barbican flats rarely allow washing on balconies, so drying is the problem wash & fold solves for most residents.

Through the porters’ lodges

The Barbican’s blocks are run through porters’ lodges, which is where we collect and return bags.

Whitecross Street stalls

Food stalls on Whitecross Street trade weekday lunchtimes and send aprons and cloths in small weekly bags.

Residents who work in the City

Many Barbican residents walk to work in the City offices next door, sending shirts and suits weekly from home.
