14. Powders - My Beautiful Laundrette (1985)

In the film: The titular laundrette - the redecorated, neon sign-boasting Powders, run by Omar and his alcoholic father.

The Google view: Powders was located in a strip of shops in Wandsworth - you can still see the high-rise estates behind - and is now a shop called Tastes Of Portugal. Oddly, turn the camera to the right and there's another laundrette just two doors away.

      This is pretty cool. A friend of mine recommende going on the London Film Locations bus tour which goes to all these places and shows clips from the films along with interesting anecdotes.

      Some good shots of London of then and now. Can also recommend going on a walk of London Film Locations I did with a mate recently. The guide Kevin made it a fun couple of hours.
