I think it's a shame it's closing and worth remembering that not everyone does have a washing machine. As others have said, it's handy in an emergency anyway.
Unlike many here I don't find the building aesthetically offensive. To me it's been so much a part of the fabric of Forest Hill since I moved to the area in 2001 that I don't even notice it anymore.

Personally I don't think we do need another coffee shop. I'd rather live in an area that caters for the needs of all income levels and backgrounds. The new businesses in the area are very welcome but a launderette provides a practical service, and losing that isn't something to be pleased about, in my view.
