Car wash in NW5: Kentish Town, cleaned between the hills

Kentish Town keeps its cars close

NW5 parking is a compact between neighbours: everyone's car within sight of everyone's bay window, on streets that climb from the Kentish Town Road flats up towards the Heath. Nobody surrenders a space lightly. The 66 washes we have completed here almost all happened in resident bays with the owner indoors, which is exactly how a neighbourhood like this wants the job done.

Heath mud and terrace trees

NW5 cars live a double life: city commuting all week, Heath car parks and muddy boots all weekend. That combination is why the Deluxe Inside and Out is the local leader, its deeper interior work clearing the weekend's evidence while the exterior side deals with what the tree-lined terraces drip on the paint. For the full valet-versus-wash decision, our explainer settles it in two minutes.
