Angel is the southern tip of Islington. That’s where we are — 18 Arlington Way, EC1R 1UY. Five minutes from the tube. Been here since 2013.
Most of Islington can reach us without too much trouble.
The Borough
Islington is a long borough. It stretches from Clerkenwell in the south up to Finsbury Park in the north — past Angel, Upper Street, Highbury Corner, Archway. Around 250,000 people live here. A lot more come in to work each day.
The Islington Tribune has been the local paper for decades. It covers everything from planning disputes on Holloway Road to what’s happening at the Emirates. It’s a borough with a strong local identity. People who live here know their area well and expect local services to match.
Dry cleaning is one of those services that sounds simple until you need it done properly. A lot of people in Islington have found the local options lacking. That’s why customers from Barnsbury, Canonbury, Pentonville, and Finsbury end up with us.
What's Available Here
Dry cleaning is the core. Suits, coats, knitwear, silk, occasion wear. We handle specialist pieces too — Canada Goose, Burberry coats, cashmere jumpers, wedding dresses. Nothing goes through a generic process. Each garment gets looked at first.
Duvets are a big one. Lots of Islington residents live in flats — converted Victorian houses, purpose-built blocks — without access to anything large enough to wash a double or king duvet. Ourlaundry service sorts that. Shirt laundering and service washes too.
Tailoring is on site. Ourtailor handles suit work, hemming, relining, zip repairs, sleeve adjustments. People bring garments in from across Islington for this — things they own that are worth fixing rather than replacing. We quote first, always.
The closer you are, the easier it is. Pentonville is a short walk south. Clerkenwell comes up St John Street. Barnsbury customers usually come via Liverpool Road. Canonbury and Highbury make the trip down Upper Street.
Further north — Finsbury Park, Stroud Green, Holloway — the journey takes longer. Those customers tend to drop items off on their way into town rather than make a dedicated trip. That works just as well for us.
If you’re anywhere in N1 or EC1, we’re almost certainly your nearest full-service shop. Dry cleaning, laundry, tailoring, alterations, shoe repair. One address.
