Wash and dry

[Mike213 lordship lane]

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.

22/Mar/2022 ADMIN NOTE: I have received notification that there is currently a dispute around the closure of the launderette with another party involved in the business.

Sad to see the last of this shop. We have used it several times over the years. Miss the cat as well. Where will people who don't have washing machines now go?

I'd like to hope Wash & Dry can stay open. I tend to use it when Jo's working there and is still well used.

There

There is a post just up on the forum re

Bellenden Road and surrounding area possibly losing its only laudromat.

Any news regarding if they have managed to stay open? Love the staff there and they are an essential service in our community.

[Froglander]

Am also interested to know if they are still open and able to stay open.

[Bic Basher]

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 ...

[Froglander]

Looking for up to date news.  What is the latest?  Reopened or permanently closed?

[KidKruger]

Was closed as of week before Xmas.

[gypsygal]

The cat dying was the final straw 

[JayJay7]

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.

Shop door was open today.might be some work going on inside..
