Apparently the oldest launderette in the country or something along those lines. But this corner unit at the heart of Forest Hill would be far better as a cafe, greengrocer, or some other retailer.

It would be a shame if it got permission to become an office rather than retailer or cafe, and there is some protection for A1 retail units in core shopping areas (although a launderette might not actually classify as A1, so it would be harder to argue against changing to A2).

Hopefully whoever moves in will do something about the poor condition of the external appearance of this unit.
