Finsbury sits to the south-east of us — City Road runs between the two areas, and from most of Finsbury you can reach Arlington Way in under twenty minutes on foot or a few stops by bus.
Not a long journey. Enough of our regular customers make it that we know the area well.
A Bit of Context
Finsbury is one of those parts of inner London that doesn’t always get named directly. People say Old Street, or City Road, or EC1V. But Finsbury is the older designation for this stretch — running roughly between Old Street to the south and Angel to the north, squeezed between Islington and Hackney.
Visit London describes the wider EC1 corridor as one of London’s most interesting mixed-use areas. That tracks. Finsbury has office buildings and residential streets on the same block. Professionals commuting into the City live here. So do long-term locals who’ve been in the area for decades. Both groups need garment care.
We’ve been on Arlington Way since 2013. Over time, Finsbury became one of our natural catchment areas — close enough that a trip here fits easily into a regular week.
What We Offer
Dry cleaning is the main service. Suits, coats, trousers, dresses, knitwear. We work across all standard garments and handle specialist pieces too — Canada Goose, Burberry, cashmere, wedding dresses. We go by the fabric and the care label. Not a generic process.
Thelaundry service takes on duvets, shirt washing and pressing, and general service washes. If you’re in a flat on City Road or the Finsbury Estate without easy access to a large-capacity machine, this is the practical option. We take duvets in all sizes and return them properly dry.
Our on-sitetailor handles alterations every day. Suit adjustments, hem work, jacket relining, zip repairs, sleeve shortening. Garments are looked at first, quoted before any work begins. Nothing proceeds without your approval.
We also doclothing alterations for everyday and occasion wear — not just formal pieces — and ashoe repair service covering heels, soles, and leather polishing.
Getting Here from Finsbury
City Road is your main route north from Finsbury. Follow it up towards Angel and turn left onto Arlington Way just before the tube station. From the Old Street end of City Road the walk is around fifteen to twenty minutes. From further up, closer to the EC1V streets near Moorfields, it’s a bit less.
Buses on City Road run regularly towards Angel. If you’re not up for the walk, it’s a short ride.
Worth a call ahead if you have something specialist or want to confirm turnaround before making the trip.
