LAUNDERAMA: LONDON LAUNDERETTES (HOXTON MINI PRESS)

As high streets grow ever more homogenous, launderettes are some of the few businesses that retain their striking individuality. But they're an endangered species: many close every year in the UK. Finding their colours, signage, machines, surfaces and geometry impossible to resist, photographer Joshua Blackburn has made it his mission to document every remaining launderette in London - more than 300. Featuring a selection of photos alongside an introductory essay and map, this book captures the colourful design and community spirit of the humble launderette.
