Preston Circus Launderette & Dry Cleaning

If you live in the Preston/​London Road and are not fortunate to have your own washing machine then this is the place for you. Open everyday 8.30am-7pm, it’s clean and warm with lots of seating and I’ve never seen it even close to full. There are two sizes of machine, 7kg for £3.20 and 11kg for £5.
I went with my housemate and we each took roughly the amount of clothes that would fit in a domestic washing machine and with the help of the handy weighing apparatus found that we were just over 7kg. So after sacrificing some jeans we rammed everything into the smaller machine and paid £1.60 each (having brought our own powder). Not bad.
There’s a TV for those dedicated enough to wait, but because it’s also a Dry Cleaners there’s always some friendly staff in attendance so we felt confident enough to leave and make use of the numerous local amenities on London Road. After gathering some groceries and enjoying a coffee we returned to our clean clothes and decided to skip the dryers which cost 20p per few minutes, thus costing an unspecified amount, so we took our clothes home and hung them up to dry.

There’s not too much i have to say about this place as I’ve only used it for dry cleaning, not washing. But they’ve always done a good job of that, and the guy who usually seems to be at the counter is always really friendly. It costs about £14 for a full suit and shirt. Unlike some local places, they do it in house too rather than sending it off (seems a bizarre idea for a launderette to send stuff off bit I’ve found some that do).
