Every town, city, and borough with launderette listings.
Not every UK city has the same launderette coverage — local history, housing density, and changing habits all play a part. Read the history
Britain's first coin-operated launderette opened at 184 Queensway, Bayswater in 1949, and London later gave the launderette a place in British culture through EastEnders, My Beautiful Laundrette, and the Levi's 501 advert.
View cityLiverpool's place in laundry history reaches back to Kitty Wilkinson, whose cholera-era work led toward the city's first public wash house on Upper Frederick Street in 1842.
View cityGlasgow's steamie culture made communal laundry part of everyday city life, later celebrated by Tony Roper's The Steamie and kept visible through places such as Govanhill Baths.

Coin-operated machines meant launderettes could run with little staffing, making them part of the shift toward longer high-street opening hours.
