EC1R is our postcode. We’re at 18 Arlington Way, London EC1R 1UY. This isn’t a page about a nearby area — it’s about where we actually are.
If you live or work in EC1R, we’re your local dry cleaner.
What EC1R Covers
EC1R takes in Angel, the streets around Sadler’s Wells, Rosebery Avenue, parts of Clerkenwell, and the residential blocks between Pentonville Road and Exmouth Market. It’s a dense, mixed postcode — mansion flats, Victorian terraces, converted warehouses, newer residential builds.
TheOffice for National Statistics classifies EC1 as one of the highest-density inner London postcode districts. A lot of people in a small area. Most of them in flats. Many of them without the space or facilities to deal with specialist garment care at home.
That’s where we come in. We’ve been in EC1R since 2013. Same address. Same service.
Who Lives Here
EC1R has changed over the years. There are long-term residents who’ve been in the area for decades. There are newer arrivals — professionals, creative workers, people who moved into the conversions and purpose-built blocks that appeared as the area developed.
Both groups need the same things. Dry cleaning done properly. Tailoring on site. A laundry service that handles bulky items. Shoe repair without having to travel across the city.
We offer all of it. One address. Walk-in, no appointment needed for most jobs.
What We Handle
Dry cleaning covers suits, coats, trousers, knitwear, dresses, and specialist pieces. Canada Goose, Burberry, cashmere, silk, wedding dresses. Nothing processed without looking at it first. The care label and fabric type decide everything.
Thelaundry service takes duvets in all sizes, handles shirt laundering, and runs service washes. EC1R flats are often compact. Large-load washing is a regular problem. We solve it.
Ourtailor works on site — suit adjustments, hemming, relining, zip repairs, sleeve work. Everything quoted before it starts. Nothing touched without your go-ahead.
Clothing alterations for casual and occasion wear too. Andshoe repair — heels, soles, leather polishing — all at Arlington Way.
