What to look at on the map

For a dry cleaner, the location factors that matter most are different from a generic retail store. When you scan London on the interactive map, focus on these:

  • 🏢Office density

    Office workers drop off on the way to / from work.

  • 🏠Residential density (500m)

    Upper-middle residential within 1km drives weekend volume.

  • 🅿️Parking nearby

    Quick in-out — needs drive-up or street parking.
