DO NOT GO HERE TO WASH YOUR CLOTHES! Crooked establishment with run down machines that break…read morefrequently. The dryers are rigged so that they take forever to dry your clothes. The owners are sneaky. While vacationing in London we went here to do laundry. Two of the washing machines I was using broke mid-cycle. The owners laughed and told me to move the clothes into another machine (after waiting 18 mins and over 7 euros later). I told him to give me money to which he only provided 5 euros. He asked me to put the rest of the money into the machine. While I was there I saw two other machines break mid cycle. The laundromat is also filthy and the neighborhood is slightly creepy.

So, I've now been going here for months, and have had absolutely no idea that this place is called…read more'Smartypants.' Go figure. My flat has a washer, but no dryer, and there was just no way I was going to trust a mere clothes horse to dry my thick, woolly jumpers, bed sheets, and duvet cover in the dead of winter. No, sir. So since Smartypants (I feel so strange now using its real name) is pretty much directly across the street from my flat, I thought I'd give it a try. This place is like any standard, self-serve coin laundromat, though they do have dry cleaning, alterations, and laundering services. I've never tried them, because all I usually need is a dryer (or two). The dryers are big, and quite powerful, but expensive to use at £1 per 15 minutes of drying. I've never had to spend more than £3 on one load -- which is not too pricy, but it really does add up. Especially when one of the employees notices you trying to stuff too many clothes into one drying cycle, and forces you to use an additional machine...on multiple occasions.... This business is owned by a Bengali family, as a lot of places in Bethnal Green are. While I'm not being prejudice, at ALL, I think it's absolutely hilarious/confusing/unexpected that this family has hung labelled art prints on all of the walls of the laundromat, displayed as they were in an art gallery. Also, there's a huge, geometric mural reading 'HEARTBREAK' on the window, and a matching one the wall above the till, reading 'DRY CLEANING.' Classic Shoreditch. All in all, this place does what it needs to do -- nothing more, nothing less. A solid A-OK, according to Yelp's star-rating system. Pro tip: They only take £1 and 20p coins in the machines, but the guy at the till will break most bills for you. Brill (I had to).

But whilst looking for a little saving grace for some dodgy cumbersome buttons on a favourite jacket, and an emergency 'stitch and go' on an important pair of work trousers, this grubby yet helpful establishment found me five identical buttons (without extra charge), and a swift one day turnaround on a pair of trousers which had been quoted a 'three day' job. All of this for a measly 12 bob. I was all sewn up for that deal.

I had to use its services. We had a washer in our flat so half the job was done. I went there for the dryers and it only took 26 minutes to get my clothes and my girlfriend's clothes sorted out. It was about five quid for the dryer and thank god they didn't weigh it out because it was a lot of clothes, but the lady let me get away with it. She was pretty good at tidying the place up every now and then and also had a side gig of holding people's luggage in storage. I thought that was a cool little thing to have available for tourists staying in Paddington. Its got good hours but mind that the neighborhood uses this place services so find a good hour where its not busy. I scored the day I went.

There are 10 washers and 8 dryers, benches throughout the laundromat, and baskets to borrow above machines. The machines do take credit cards if you don't have any pounds. The only thing was the machines were a bit pricey. £7-10 to wash and £1 for every 5 minutes of dryer use, though this could be normal for London. If you need to purchase liquid or powder detergent, it's £1.50 (coins or card). There is an employee there if you need anything, she greeted me when I walked in and explained the pricing on the machines. They offer pressing services for an extra cost, but you might have to wait a day.

Many of the local places had few or mixed reviews and we were hoping to not have to go very far out of the way. It took 20 minutes and £10 for a large washer to wash all of our clothes and £5 for 40 minutes in the dryer (recommended by the helpful staff). I felt this was a fair price as many other reviews locally listed excessive pricing as a concern. I felt at ease; it wasn't too busy on a summer Friday afternoon and we popped down the street to have a coffee while we waited. Baskets available for convenience inside. Would recommend for other travellers.
