Well I hadn't noticed toilets on the platforms at Holborn but anyone knows
otherwise.... And if I was to leave the station then come back in I'd get

There are no public toilets in Holborn station.

Yes I know. It was a dismissive open ended question. There are no public
toilets in any deep level tube station AFAIK.

Not "in" but some "at". i.e.
Baker Street - in, but not in deep part
Bank - run by City of London
Canada Water - bus station, but closed due to "antisocial behaviour".
Canary Wharf
Earl's Court
Green Park - run by Westminster.
Old Street - run by Islington
Piccadilly Circus - run by Westminster
Vauxhall - bus station + ****oir in middle of road
Westminster - 0.50 in subway from exit 6 under Whitehall

I've used all of those, except the one at Westminster.
I ignore McDonalds, Starbucks, William Hill, etc.
I also ignore mainline rail stations attached to Underground stations.
A RADAR key gives access to a more salubrious class of facility.

All arbitrary until caught short. I've occasionally persuaded staff to
let me skip out and back to use the facilities. I've also been allowed
to use staff loos on occasion.


As you leave the station, there is a narrow exit to the right to High
Holborn and another straight ahead to Kingsway. McDonalds used to have a
store opposite the High Holborn exit. I don't know if it is still there.
J.D.Wetherspoons runs the Shakespeare's Head. Turn left into Kingsway
and walk about 50m. It has male, female and RADAR-accessible toilets.

Or there are plenty of bushes in lincolns inn fields.

If you visit the Doric Arch, Euston Square has less cover.
