Hi 'bout now, I wish we could meet that pricing level but this is a sustainable, local business, so we'll be operating a price offer that reflects that premium.


Still, there are other launderettes that would meet your low prices. That's fine. Peckham's for everyone.

Cheers Otta. Look forward to seeing you at some of the great pop-up nights and projects Gizzi has planned:


Hand Wash Only (December 27): labels won't define you. The Shoreditch House team are each donating an unwanted "hand wash only" item for our hot-cycle display. Bring your own hand wash hates and get them spinning at 1500rpm.


Woollen Mix (January 18): unwind and unravel in the New Year with our detergent detox. Local yarn forager Raffdog will be knitting stories non-stop for 24 hours.


Iron Man (February 23): Phil Partridge, creative muse of Burger, Lobster, Lobster Burger and Burger Lobster, will be live tweeting the installation of his ironing board collection in a permanent exhibition. Irony.


Re-dry the Streets (May- August): We're installing street-based urban drying racks in the neighbourhood. Community, urban drying taken to guerilla level. #redrythestreets

Quality as usual Ted. Had you down as my Poster I'd like to have a peeve with. Still stands.

    • Wow I had no idea they give you 5% in perfume for your accommodation. You're right, I need to travel more. 
    • Do none of you go abroad.  Tourist taxes are really common in continental Europe and do vary a lot city by city. They are collected by the hotels/rental apartments. They are usually a  tiny part of your holiday costs.  In Narbonne recently we paid €1.30 per person per night.  The next town we went to charge 80 cents per person per night. By comparison Cologne is 5% of your accomodation.
    • Hey Sue, I was wrong - I don't think it would just be for foreign tourists. So yeah I assume that, if someone lives in Lewisham and wants to say the night in southwark, they'd pay a levy.  The hotels wouldn't need to vet anyone's address or passports - the levy is automatically added on top of the bill by every hotel / BnB / hostel and passed on to Southwark. So basically, you're paying an extra two quid a night, or whatever, to stay in this borough.  It's a great way to drive footfall... to the other London boroughs.  https://www.ukpropertyaccountants.co.uk/uk-tourist-tax-exploring-the-rise-of-visitor-levies-and-foreign-property-charges/
    • Pretty much, Sue, yeah. It's the perennial, knotty problem of imposing a tax and balancing that with the cost of collecting it.  The famous one was the dog licence - I think it was 37 1/2 pence when it was abolished, but the revenue didn't' come close to covering the administration costs. As much I'd love to have a Stasi patrolling the South Bank, looking for mullet haircuts, unshaven armpits, overly expressive hand movements and red Kicker shoes, I'm afraid your modern Continental is almost indistinguishable from your modern Londoner. That's Schengen for you. So you couldn't justify it from an ROI point of view, really. This scheme seems a pretty good idea, overall. It's not perfect, but it's cheap to implement and takes some tax burden off Southwark residents.   'The Man' has got wise to this. It's got bad juju now. If you're looking to rinse medium to large amounts of small denomination notes, there are far better ways. Please drop me a direct message if you'd like to discuss this matter further.   Kind Regards  Dave
