Laundromat (or laundrette as they say here), Greenwich Village, New York. I have to use a laundrette now – I did use a laundrette for a brief time in 2002, but had the ‘luxury’ of having a washer/dryer (which never dried) for the last couple of years. Each week we do a load or two, and it costs about 5 pounds. Which is why we pay a little less rent, apparently. Anyway, it’s not so bad as it’s only a two minute walk away, but they should make laundrettes a little more comfy. I’ve yet to take a photo of the Barbican Laundrette but I look forward to doing so.

A laundrette on Goldhawk Rd, Notting Hill, taken earlier today. This is part of my extremely sporadic laundrette photo series!

Kilburn High Road laundromat. The first laundromat in an occasional series of laundromat photos, which will be sporadically updated but available to access in a unique category entitled “Laundromat”.

And the weather is getting warmer and sunnier! I found myself in Richmond for much of the afternoon, and it’s so peaceful by the river.
