About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as customers were picking up their dry cleaned clothes, an announcement crackled over the intercom: ‘If you see a suit wearing itself down the street, please return it to The London Cleaners.’ A few days later, another message came through: ‘Please help our new employee who keeps trying on suits in the fitting room!’ It turned out that one of the suits had developed a mind of its own and was causing quite a commotion around the neighborhood. Eventually, everyone realized it was just good old Mr. Brown from next door, borrowing clothes for his impromptu fashion show.
2. One day, while waiting for his shirts, a little boy noticed something odd: every time he walked past The London Cleaners, his dog would suddenly start barking at thin air. Curious, the boy asked an old lady passing by if she heard anything unusual. She smiled and whispered, 'That's just Mr. Jenkins next door—his ghostly cat still thinks your dog is intruding.' Relieved, the boy went back home, never realizing that his dog was actually guarding him from invisible critters.
3. One afternoon, a regular picked up his suit and muttered under his breath, ‘I hope they didn’t lose my pants again.’ As he walked out, he heard someone whisper from behind the counter: ‘They’re right here, sir—next to your shirt.’ A few days later, an anxious delivery driver rushed in, frantically searching for his uniform. Behind the counter, a smile crept across the cleaner’s face as he said softly, 'Your trousers are waiting patiently, next to your jacket.' The relieved driver took them gratefully, muttering, 'Thank heavens!'
4. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to The London Cleaners with a box of freshly pressed suits. As he opened the door, a strange scent wafted through the air—something between old books and freshly baked bread. Curious, he looked around but saw no one. Suddenly, an elderly gentleman emerged from behind a curtain, smiling warmly. "Ah, good evening! Did you miss your turn in the hallway?" he asked. The delivery driver blinked, realizing he’d walked into the cleaners’ staff room. 'Never mind,' chuckled the man, handing him a fresh cup of tea. 'We’ve seen stranger things here than late deliveries.”
