Default Bike cleaning place in London?

Morning!

I remember some time back someone mentioned that there is a really good bike cleaning place near Kings Cross. Does anyone remember the name of it? I want to clean the bike but I'm too lazy to do it myself.

Cheers,

Paul

You have seen all those "Hand Car Wash" places?

Well they also do bikes, charging about £5 for doing so.

Indeed! Although I'd rather use a bike-specific one.

If someone's stupid enough to take £5 to clean the kwak, I'm there.

That needs buffing up with an angle grinder.

There was one there, I remember chatting to someone who had taken their bike in for cleaning.

I think Bandit Bikes (Nelson Street nr Whitechapel Road) used to do a cleaning service too, but no idea if they still do.

Yep, they still have the jet wash place behind there. Last time I went there though (6 months back) it took 30 minutes for the bike to start as they had been a smidge enthusiastic with the jet wash
