Why soulless?
Have you been? Every time I've gone past there's been a maximum of 3 about people stood around in what I would describe as a particularly bleak attempt at a bar. It looks like a semi closed railway station waiting room from the 1960s to me, in a uniform shade of dull brown.

I'm sure the beers they sell are mighty fine, but it's not a place I'd choose to go for a pint.

Ahh, that place. Looks like a painting by Edward Hopper.
 
I'm a regular at the Laundry for coffee now. Good coffee, lovely staff, calm setting. No wi-fi so I'll have to get tethering. Have also eaten there once, just a croque madame, which was delicious.
 
I don't even know what a croque madame is but I'm pretty sure it's not something that the locals are unlikely to want or afford.

Literally meaning "mister crunch," the croque monsieur is a treasure trove of textures; pop a fried egg on top of your sandwich to transform it into a croque madame. This sandwich stars layers of thinly sliced ham, soft, melty cheese, and an audible crunch as you bite down on the toasted bread. Hidden in plain sight is a traditional Mornay sauce: a béchamel sauce that's been upgraded with melted Gruyère. If you're not a fan of the pungent flavors of Gruyère, feel free to opt for milder Comté.

It's very nice indeed. A staple of classic French cooking. A croque madame and a coffee at the laundry costs about the same as 2 big Mac meals. I would heartily recommend it to any locals who want a treat now and then. I'm one of the locals and I can afford it because I don't drink or smoke or use drugs or go to the cinema or the theatre or have a phone contract or TV licence or monthly car payments, or children.

Good grief. If Clapham could speak it would sound like you.

Ah, we're back the 'occasional treat' line.

Blatantly trolling. Can you just go away please?

We went there couple of days ago and really liked everything. Food, staff and drinks all excellent.
 
I don’t think that replying to a post saying “I don’t know what x” is with an admittedly lazy cut and paste is trolling.

but defer to your opinion - he wasn’t adding anything
