I'm not familiar with UK terminology, but in the US, this might be called a portable clothesline. "Clothes airer" would imply that you're just airing about the clothes, not drying them. And the term "clothes horse" means a person who is very clothes conscious and always wears the latest fashions.

Me, too, and I'm a native speaker (US). It never occurred to me that when you call a person a clothes horse, it is with reference to this contraption. Other things of that kind are called horses—the sawhorse, for one, and the cheval glass, for that matter.
