Amazing place "The London." When I started working for Broadway Studios (825 North Broadway) in 1960 The London was in their original "lower level" location, on Broadway, just a couple doors south. Both Broadway Studios and The London moved to their Milwaukee Street location about the same time. Used to be in that place a couple times a week to deliver and pick up my bosses dry cleaning. Talk about full service - from shoes to hats - and everything in between. The last time I was in there was to have a fedora cleaned and stretched - must be 15 years ago. Thanks for the memories.
