The city's launderette density reflects its housing stock: dense inner neighbourhoods of Victorian terraces and converted flats, a rental market that houses a large proportion of residents without washing machines, and a large student population across two universities. 60 of the 96 listings accept card payment, which is useful to know before you travel, and 74 offer service wash for anyone who'd rather drop a bag and come back later.
