We've become experts at finding services to save any precious minute possible - here are our top four ultimate time-saving life hacks to enhance busy lives in the capital:

collect plus

Zip Jet dry cleaning. This nifty lot pick-up, wash and deliver your clean clothes in as little as six hours and you can cook via the app or online. Time saved: 3 hours
