About this launderette

Bubbles is a self-service launderette open daily from 7am to 9pm, offering convenient coin-operated washing and drying facilities with multiple machine sizes suitable for everyday laundry and large items like king-size duvets. The launderette features modern, well-maintained equipment including impressive high-speed tumble dryers that can dry a full load in under 20 minutes, with washing starting at £5 for standard loads and £8 for large capacity machines. Located in a residential area with nearby parking on side streets, the launderette benefits from its proximity to a post office, convenience store, and pharmacy for change and forgotten detergent supplies. A helpful staff member is on-site, and a service wash option is available for those preferring assisted laundry. While customers praise the clean facility, efficient machines, and reasonable pricing, note that you must bring your own detergent and have plenty of coins or change readily available.
