  • Getting shirts done at the dry cleaner. My local one in Dalston charged me £2.50/shirt for wash, dry, and iron. Which I thought was ridiculously expensive. So today I dropped off some shirts which I'd washed and dried and he still wanted £1.80/shirt just for ironing! In Romford (I know), the local dry cleaner charged me 80p/shirt for just ironing, which I was very happy paying. Is £1.80 a standard London price or do I need to find a different dry cleaner?

  • Buy an iron and roll your own, shirley.

  • Sounds expensive. The place round the corner from me at work (on High Holborn) washes and irons 5 shirts for £9.

  • Depending on how many shirts, it may be cheaper to get a cleaner. You may also find local ironing services on gumtree and the like.

  • One near my office off Euston Road charges £7.50 for 5, wash and press. The one over the other side of Euston Road on Warren St charges considerably more.

    I only use that for the shirts I leave in my locker when I'm cycling though. Otherwise, I have discovered that the Charles Tyrwhitt non-iron shirts are actually non-iron. If you hang them up wet straight out of the machine then the creases drop out.
