It's a bit of a shame you can't use your Oyster card.


Because of banking regulations that would probably only be allowed if
the toilets were operated by TfL. However, they could accept "Paywave"
credit cards.


But the Oyster card is being used on non-TfL services! It can also be used
to pay for entry to a museum, so it's apparently legal to use it to pay for
other things than transportation fares.


Its essentially a gift voucher (you pay someone money, they'll redeem it
later for goods or services) so there's no legal issue at all.
