Clerkenwell sits directly south of us. From our door on Arlington Way, it is a few minutes’ walk down St John Street and you are in the middle of it.
That makes us the nearest full-service dry cleaner for most of the EC1 area.
A Working Neighbourhood
Clerkenwell has changed a lot, but it still works for a living. Old warehouses and print works are now design studios, architecture practices, and media offices. People here wear good clothes to work and need them kept that way.
Islington Council records show how many creative and professional businesses are packed into these few streets. That mix — studios, agencies, and the residents in the converted blocks above them — is why we see steady demand from Clerkenwell for both garment care and quick-turnaround repairs.
Exmouth Market is a five-minute walk from us. So is the top of Farringdon Road. If you are on that side of Clerkenwell, we are closer than you might think.
What We Do for Clerkenwell Customers
Dry cleaning is the core of it. Suits, wool coats, silk, knitwear, occasion wear. Specialist items too — cashmere, Burberry, Canada Goose, wedding dresses. Every garment is checked before it goes anywhere near a cleaning process.
A lot of Clerkenwell is flats — warehouse conversions, mansion blocks, new-builds — without room for large washes. Our laundry service covers duvets of every size, shirt laundering, and service washes. You drop it off, we sort it.
Our tailoring service runs on site. Hems, suit adjustments, relining, zip repairs, sleeve work. For less formal pieces, clothing alterations handle the everyday fixes — taking in, letting out, shortening. We quote before we start. Always.
Clerkenwell is also one of our busiest areas for shoe repair. Heels, soles, and polishing, done properly on leather that is worth keeping.
Getting to Us from Clerkenwell
Head north up St John Street towards Angel. We are just off it, on Arlington Way, a couple of minutes before the tube. From Exmouth Market, walk up Rosebery Avenue and Arlington Way is on your right.
Angel is the nearest station on the Northern Line. Farringdon is a slightly longer walk from the southern end of Clerkenwell.
