The Laundry

The Laundry is an all-day restaurant, cafe and wine shop at 374 Coldharbour Lane in Brixton, opened on 1 November 2019 by chef and sommelier Melanie Brown. The menu draws on European bistro and cafe cooking, running from breakfast through brunch to an evening dinner service, with a wine shop selling bottles for home drinking alongside the restaurant list. Brown, previously known for her wine and hospitality work in London restaurants, set the site up as her first venture as an owner rather than an employed chef. Kitchen hours run from 8.30am on weekdays and 10am at weekends, with the restaurant open until 11pm or later most nights and closing at 5pm on Sundays. The business trades under Heist Group Ltd from this single Coldharbour Lane address, with no other branches identified. It has been reviewed by Time Out, Square Mile and Brixton Buzz since opening and remains associated with Brown as owner-operator.
