Why Tower kitchens switch
Tower covers do not wait for a laundry van
Most kitchens in Tower do not change supplier because of price. They change because of a Friday that went wrong.
-
Deliveries that miss service
One delay around Mansion House and the pass is stacked with kitchen cloths nobody can replace.
-
Cloths that go out marked
Wine, oil and candle wax need different treatment. A supplier that washes everything on one programme returns cloths you cannot put on a table.
-
The skip that fills by Thursday
A stock level built around a Tuesday does not survive a full Saturday in Tower.
How it works
Four steps from first call to first Tower collection
Nothing here needs a decision from you after the first week.
-
What you use in a week
We look at a week of real service in Tower — covers midweek, covers at the weekend, how many cloths a turn actually costs you.
Before anything changes
-
Stock set to your week
We size to the peak and let the quiet days look over-supplied — the opposite arrangement fails when the room is full.
No tie-in to change it
-
Same day, same driver
7 days, at a time agreed with you — a standing slot rather than a window assigned each morning.
Outside service hours
-
Back before the doors
Everything arrives ready to use: linen pressed and counted, whites hung, cloths separated. No unpacking job at the start of a shift.
One invoice, one contact
Running more than one site in City of London? The same account manager covers all of them, on one invoice and one collection round.
Standards
Tower cloths are washed where we say they are
Nothing leaves the chain. Tower linen travels 9.6 miles to Wembley and back, through a plant we run ourselves.
It is also why a chef jacket and a tablecloth get different treatment here — a subcontractor washes to their schedule, not your soil.

Switching in Tower without missing a service
Most Tower 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.
- Before you commit
An hour on site, before anything changes
An hour in Tower: 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
Both suppliers run at once
Your current supplier finishes their cycle while the EC3N 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.
- From then on
One round, one contact
Collections settle into a standing slot, processed at our own plant rather than passed on. Aldgate and Billingsgate are already collected on the same run, so this is an existing journey rather than a new one.
We do not ask you to break a contract early. If you are tied in, we plan the start date around your notice period.
Through the changeover, Tower keeps laying up as normal.

Danielle Moreau Events Logistics Manager · Corporate event venue -
In clinical and aesthetic practice, hygiene standards have to meet rigorous compliance. High-temperature sanitised gowns, drapes and bed covers arrive reliably every week. I trust their quality control completely.
Dr Elena Rostova Clinic Director · Private healthcare clinic -
For high-end short-stay apartments, guest reviews live and die by linen quality. We get hotel-grade crispness that consistently earns us five-star cleanliness ratings, and the communication lines are short when something needs resolving.
Beatrice Dupont Head of Housekeeping · Luxury serviced apartments -
We use dozens of salon towels and client gowns every day. Stubborn hair dye and product stains come out effortlessly and our capes still look new. They are an indispensable part of the daily flow here.
Chloe St. Laurent Salon Owner & Manager · Hair & beauty salon -
We rely on clean bolster covers, fleece blankets and eye pillows. Delicate fabrics are treated with care while still getting a deep, hypoallergenic sanitisation, and everything comes back beautifully presented.
Hannah Sterling Studio Coordinator · Yoga & pilates studio -
From velvet seat throws to staff aprons and heavy bar towels, our eclectic mix of textiles is handled without fuss. The turnaround times and the account management are what stand out.
Kieran Davies Venue & Hospitality Manager · Boutique cinema & lounge -
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 -
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.

Local knowledge
Tower, specifically
An energetic part of Tower featuring a mix of historic architecture and modern living. Unique to Tower.
Kitchens here sit on the EC3N round, close enough to the plant that a disrupted run is a second trip that day, not a note on next week's sheet.

Tower questions, answered
Do you already collect from Tower?
183 restaurants in Tower sit inside the area we already collect from, 9.6 miles from our Wembley plant. Alongside them, 124 cafés and 62 pubs and bars are on the same run.
- Shared with Aldgate, Billingsgate and Lime Street — one vehicle covers them, which is why we can add a kitchen here without adding a journey, and why the price does not carry a delivery surcharge.
- 7 days collections, on a fixed day and time that does not drift week to week.
- a 9.6-mile round trip keeps the recovery window short — the plant is close enough to come back.
Will marked Tower cloths come back marked?
It depends entirely on the mark. Oil, wine and wax behave differently in a wash, and treating them the same is how cloths come back looking tired after a season.
- 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 so the decision about whether a cloth is still good enough is ours, not yours at 6pm.
- Wax is lifted before wash, cold and mechanically — a hot cycle is what makes candle wax permanent.
Do you do chef whites as well as table linen in Tower?
Same round, same invoice. Chef jackets, aprons, trousers, oven cloths and kitchen cloths are collected with the table linen — there is no second supplier and no second delivery day to remember.
- Whites come back on hangers, sized and named where you want them named, so they go straight to the changing area rather than onto a pile.
- Cloths are bagged by type — glass, oven, waiter — so nothing needs sorting at the pass during setup.
- 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 City of London — one account?
Yes, and it usually costs less. Sites on the same City of London rounds share the journey, which is the whole reason a group rate exists.
- 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 with a per-site breakdown, so a head office sees one number and each kitchen still sees its own.
- Adding a site later is a change to the drop list, not a new contract or a new supplier relationship.
What time does the van come in Tower?
Never during service. Your EC3N 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 Mansion House 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 setup starts with a full cupboard instead of a count of what survived last night.
- If a run is disrupted — a road closure, a breakdown — a 9.6-mile plant means the fix is hours away rather than days.
Can par levels handle a full Saturday in Tower?
Par is set to your busiest service, not your average one. A stock level built around a Tuesday fails on a Saturday, which is the night it matters.
- We count a real week in Tower — not an estimate, and not the number inherited from whoever quoted before us.
- Reviewed after a full month of live usage and adjusted, with no renegotiation and no change fee.
- Seasonal swing is expected — EC3N trade moves across the year, and the par level should move with it rather than being agreed once and forgotten.
Is the EC3N service hire only, or wash-only as well?
Both, and most Tower accounts run both. Hired table linen where volume is high, owned whites where the branding matters.
- Owned stock stays yours. We do not buy it off you at a discount to simplify the paperwork.
- Hire covers replacement — the cost of a cloth reaching the end of its life sits with us, not with you.
- Most Tower accounts run both: hired table linen where volume is high, owned chef whites where the branding matters.
We are a 24-cover place — are we too small?
Nothing is too small if you are on the round. Tower 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 directlyGetting it right first time in Tower
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 Tower 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 EC3N round serves Tower, Aldgate and Billingsgate — 3 areas, one set of miles.
- A 9.6-mile plant distance is the transport cost of every collection here — it is why routing matters more than detergent.
- Water from the final rinse is recovered and feeds the next wash rather than the drain.
- Oil and wine marks are re-treated before an item is retired. Most recover.
