5 Star is the stars choice when they want to ensure everything is all white on the night. We have been established for over 40 years and our high level of service has meant that our customers expect nothing but the best from us.
Altaf Ahmed, owner of 5 Star Dry Cleaners has seen everyone from Cherie Blair to Stephen Fry come through the door over the past 40 years.
Altaf Ahmed quoted,
"When I first opened we had a lot of members of the local Adams family and their acquaintances come in and now we also have a lot of judges and barristers coming in like the Lord Chief Justice, Lord Woolf so we have a diverse clientele to say the least! We also have quite a few newscasters like Jon Snow and Adam Bolton from Sky."
Other famous faces who have made an appearance to 5 Star are Linda Robson (Birds of a feather), Joe Swash (Easterners), the boxing promoter Frank Warren, and Margaret Hodge (Labour MP for Barking).

User Reviews
Excellent all-round. When I put a shout out for an eco-dry cleaning service for a faux fur coat, this came back as the recommendation in Islington (ask for 'Aquaclean')
I then took a pair of trousers in for repair and they did a superb job at invisibly mending them. Next up was a cashmere cardi, again invisibly mended and also Aquacleaned (smells delicious btw, none of that toxic chemical smell I associate with dry cleaning) and the staff couldn't be nicer. There's a gentleman working there (Hasim?) who always waves to me from his sewing machine in the window and Uncle Altaz(?) in the back but I haven't met anyone who looks like Omar Sharif as another reviewer cited!
You can pick it up from the time they give you but it's super easy as they give you a card to put in a machine - great for out of hours pickups.
I have been to many dry cleaners while living in London but I have to admit that this one, although the priciest one I have been to is one that has delivered every single time. The owner is very helpful and reassured me many times about a heavily delicate dress my wife was very nervous about getting cleaned. He was also very prompt with the drycleaning and provided me with a drop-off service when I said I needed it within a short time frame. I don't see myself going elsewhere for drycleaning
Great service, always looking to go the extra mile and suggest ways to save money rather than exploit. Would not go anywhere else.
I was very amazed with the results of the sequined dress I had dry cleaned. I had previously taken it to my local dry cleaners who refused to even attempt to get the stain out but at 5 star the reassurance given to me was something else. Very grateful, thank you x
Lost my very pricy brown leather blazer, attempted to blame me for not picking up the order on the day they suggested although it was clearly a mistake on their own behalf. Apart from that quality is not too bad but losing customer clothes is a definite no go thanks.
Excellent service! Took an extremely expensive dress with a stain to get cleaned, was quite reluctant at first as I didn't want it getting ruined anymore than it was...thinking that it'd only get worse.
Glad I went to 5 star! brilliant cleaning and an even better service.
Thank you!

THIS DRYCLEANERS IS AMAZING! THEY CAN GET ALMOST ALL STAINS OUT OF ALMOST ANYTHING!!! THEY PROVIDE A NEXT TO NONE ALTERATION AND REPAIR SERVICE AND THE BEST THING IS THEY PROVIDE QUALITY WITH SPEED. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS UNBELIEVABLE AS THEY ACTUALLY DO THEIR UTMOST BEST TO CATER TO YOUR NEEDS (WHICH IS VERY UNCOMMON IN TODAYS WORLD) I TOOK A SUIT IN TO THEM WHICH WAS FULL OF RED WINE AND THEY WERE VERY REASSURING. NEEDLESS TO SAY MY SUIT CAME BACK AS CLOSE AS IT COULD TO BRAND NEW. THEIR PRICES ARE ON THE HIGH SIDE BUT ITS DEFINATLY WORTH EVERY PENNY ESPECIALLY WITH EXPENSIVE AND DELICATE CLOTHS. THEY ALSO DO SHOE REPAIRS AND WEDDING DRESSES AND THE TAILOR IS A GENIUS! HE EVEN FIXED THE ZIP ON MY HAND BAG! I THINK IT IS A FAMILY BUSINESS AND THE ELDERLY GENTLEMAN IS A TRUE PROFESSIONAL AND KNOWS HIS STUFF! THE YOUNGER HANDSOME MAN WITH THE BLACK BEARD AND OMAR SHARIFF LOOKS IS SUPER POLITE AND IS VERY HELPFULL, HE IS THE KIND OF PERSON I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE WORKING FOR ME, HES A COMPLETE GOD-SEND (AND A VERY SNAZZY DRESSER! I HAVNT SEEN A RING ON HIS FINGER SO I MAY BE IN LUCK!) THERES NO SUCH THING AS A 'BIG ASK' IN THIS SHOP! I THINK FIVE STAR HAS BEEN AROUND FOR ABOUT THIRTY YEARS OR SO, AND THEY ARE PROOF THAT EXPERIENCE DOES COME WITH AGE!
this dry cleaning shop provides by far the greatest service i have ever known to receive. The customer service is very friendly and efficient. Although prices are rather pricey in comparison to other dry cleaning shops all in all the service is worth every penny. Highly recommended.
Have your say
