The SW1V problem
Pimlico kitchens lose more to linen than they do to menus
The difference between a supplier who works in Pimlico and one who merely delivers to it shows up on the third Saturday, not the first.
-
Deliveries that miss service
A late run near St. James's Park means napkins arrive while the first covers are already seated.
-
Grease that never lifts
A creased cloth is a two-second judgement made before anyone has read the menu.
-
The skip that fills by Thursday
A stock level built around a Tuesday does not survive a full Saturday in Pimlico.
From first call to first collection in Pimlico
Pimlico kitchens, from count to round, in four moves
Four steps, then you stop noticing it.

What you use in a week
An hour looking at what Pimlico actually gets through: a midweek service, a full Saturday, and the difference between them.
Booked within days in SW1V
-
Par levels that flex
Par is set to your busiest day, not your average one, so a full Saturday does not empty the cupboard by Sunday lunch.
Adjusted, not renegotiated
-
Your place on the round
Collections settle into a window that sits outside service — not a two-hour promise that lands mid-lunch.

Ready to lay up
Pressed, counted, hung and bagged — the delivery is finished when it lands rather than when someone has sorted it.
One invoice, one contact
Running more than one site in Westminster? The same account manager covers all of them, on one invoice and one collection round.
How it is processed
Pimlico cloths are washed where we say they are
Your cloths go to one place — a plant in Wembley, 8.2 miles from Pimlico, owned and staffed by us rather than rented capacity somewhere else.
It is also why a chef jacket and a tablecloth get different treatment here — a subcontractor washes to their schedule, not your soil.

Pimlico handovers happen between services, not during them
Most Pimlico operators stay with a supplier they have stopped rating, because changing one feels like risking a service. It is the objection we hear most, so here is exactly how it runs.
- First, the count
Your stock gets counted, not estimated
An hour in Pimlico: what goes out on a Saturday, what is still in the wash, what is past saving. You keep every item you own — nothing is bought back or written off to make a contract look neater.
- The changeover
You carry too much linen for a week, on purpose
Your current supplier finishes their cycle while the SW1V round starts delivering. For that week you are holding more than you need, which is the point — there is no service you lay up short for.
- Settled
One round, one contact
Collections settle into a standing slot, processed at our own plant rather than passed on. Vauxhall and Westminster are already collected on the same run, so this is an existing journey rather than a new one.
No exit fee, no buy-back, no minimum term to escape from. If your notice runs to March, we start in March.
No Pimlico guest should ever meet your laundry supplier.

Table presentation is everything in Mayfair. They handle our heavy cotton damask tablecloths and chef whites with real precision — stains vanish and the starch finish is always spot on. The daily collection has never let us down.
Mateo Rossi Restaurant General Manager · Fine dining restaurant -
As a family-run Victorian B&B we need a partner who understands traditional hospitality. Our heritage cotton sheets are treated with real care, the drivers are friendly and the weekly delivery is consistent.
Arthur Pendelton Proprietor & Manager · Traditional bed & breakfast -
Back-to-back conferences and galas mean huge quantities of table skirts, stage linens and catering napkins at short notice. They have never missed a deadline on any of it.
Danielle Moreau Events Logistics Manager · Corporate event venue -
Grooming generates heavy, fur-filled towels and specialist bedding that a standard machine cannot handle. Everything is collected and returned allergen-free, fluffy and sterilised. Top marks for taking on the difficult jobs.
Natasha Petrov Head Groomer & Manager · Pet grooming & daycare -
Whether we are catering a wedding or a corporate launch, linen presentation has to be immaculate. We get crisp, vacuum-sealed table linens and pristine chef jackets every time — a genuine operational ally.
Julian Bennett Executive Director of Operations · Catering & event production -
Our membership expects discretion and immaculate standards. Dining room linens and guest suites are laundered to a bespoke standard, and the discretion around our account has been absolute.
Alistair Finch Club Secretary & General Manager · Private members' club -
Running a busy dining room alongside eight letting rooms needs a versatile laundry partner. Kitchen aprons, table runners and bed sheets all go in one collection, and the seven-day pickup schedule flexes around us.
Liam Gallagher Operations & Pub Manager · Gastro pub with rooms -
LP Laundry has been an absolute game-changer for our 45-room boutique hotel. Turnaround on our bed linens and heavy plush towels is inside 24 hours without a single delay. We could not be happier with the crisp, immaculate finish.
Charlotte Vance Front of House & Accommodation Manager · 45-room boutique hotel

About Pimlico
Pimlico, specifically
A peaceful residential area with a strong community feel and beautiful Regency architecture. Unique to Pimlico.
Pimlico is collected 7 days on a shared round, so a 24-cover room is priced on what it uses rather than on the journey.

Asked by Pimlico kitchens
Is Pimlico on one of your rounds?
140 restaurants in Pimlico sit inside the area we already collect from, 8.2 miles from our Wembley plant. Alongside them, 125 cafés and 41 pubs and bars are on the same run.
- Shared with Vauxhall, Westminster and Nine Elms — the round already passes, so you are joining a journey rather than paying for a new one.
- 7 days collections, set once with you, then kept — not re-planned each morning by a scheduling system.
- an 8.2-mile round trip means a problem is a second trip that day rather than a note on next week's sheet.
What happens to stained napkins from a Pimlico service?
Four different problems, four different answers. Grease needs heat, wine needs speed, wax needs lifting cold — a supplier running everything on one cycle returns you the average of all three.
- Items are sorted before washing, not after. Mixing table linen with kitchen cloths is the single fastest way to grey a white.
- Marked items are pulled at the check stage and re-treated before they go back out. Most recover; the ones that do not are replaced from stock rather than returned to you to notice.
- Wax is lifted before wash, not melted through the fabric by a hot cycle, which is what sets it permanently.
Do you do chef whites as well as table linen in Pimlico?
Front of house and back of house, one collection. Whites and cloths travel with the tablecloths, on one docket and one bill.
- Whites come back on hangers, ready to hang up — which is the only state a chef jacket is useful in.
- Cloths are bagged by type — glass, oven, waiter — so the right cloth is where it should be before service starts.
- Sizes are held in stock, so a new starter on Monday is not waiting until the following week for a jacket that fits.
We run more than one site around Westminster — one account?
One contact for all of them. Running several Westminster sites through one account is the common case here, not a special arrangement.
- Each site keeps its own par level. Sites are sized individually, because an average across two very different rooms is wrong for both.
- Consolidated billing on one invoice, itemised by site — one number for finance, the detail for whoever asks.
- Adding a site later is a change to the drop list, not a new contract or a new supplier relationship.
When do you collect in Pimlico — will it clash with service?
Never during service. Your SW1V slot is fixed when the account opens, so it is a standing appointment rather than a window someone assigns you on the day.
- Access around St. James's Park is planned into the route rather than discovered on the day. Loading restrictions and one-way systems are the reason most suppliers drift late here.
- Deliveries land before the doors open, so the team lays up with what arrived that morning rather than what was left in the cupboard.
- If a run is disrupted — a road closure, a breakdown — we come back the same day. At 8.2 miles that is a decision, not a logistics exercise.
Can par levels handle a full Saturday in Pimlico?
We size the account on your peak. Averaging a quiet Tuesday with a full Saturday produces a number that is wrong on both nights.
- We count a real week in Pimlico — covers midweek, covers at the weekend, and how many cloths a turn actually costs you rather than what the last supplier's sheet said.
- Reviewed after a full month once there is real data rather than a first guess — at no cost either way.
- Seasonal swing is expected — SW1V trade moves across the year, and the par level should move with it rather than being agreed once and forgotten.
Is the SW1V service hire only, or wash-only as well?
Whichever suits the item. We hire and we wash-only, and the SW1V round does not care which is in the bag.
- Owned stock stays yours. Nothing is bought back or written off to make a contract look tidier, and you keep every item you already paid for.
- Hire covers replacement — wear, loss and staining are ours to carry rather than a line that appears on your invoice each quarter.
- Most Pimlico accounts run both: hired table linen where volume is high, owned chef whites where the branding matters.
Is a small Pimlico café too small for you?
Nothing is too small if you are on the round. Pimlico already is, so the question is what you use, not how much.
- Cafés and bars sit alongside restaurants on the same round — the vehicle does not care what is on the sign outside.
- No tie-in and no volume threshold to keep the price you were quoted — the rate does not change if you have a quiet January.
- Growing later is a par-level change, not a renegotiation — adding a second flat does not reopen the contract.
- No exit fee. If it is not working, you say so and we collect our stock.
Not covered here?
Ask us directlyRewashing Pimlico linen is the real environmental cost
Most of the environmental cost of restaurant linen is rewashing and early replacement, not the wash itself — a cloth retired at the first oil mark has cost more than one washed twice. In Pimlico there is a second saving: the kitchens here sit close enough together that one round covers them, instead of separate journeys out from Wembley.
- One SW1V round serves Pimlico, Vauxhall and Westminster — 3 areas, one set of miles.
- An 8.2-mile plant distance is the transport cost of every collection here — it is why routing matters more than detergent.
- Rinse water recovered and reused rather than discharged after a single cycle.
- Stained napkins are worked on twice before they leave the count — replacement is the last resort.
