A good layout for toilets is at Golders Green. The toilets are in
the street, where the bus station is. They are very close to the
Tube station, but they are the council's responsibility.

Station Supervisors will shut toilets inside stations whenever
there is any problem. They are also a lot of work for the station
cleaner. They are nice to have until they become your
responsibility.

You said it. Having managed a contract that covered both public and
staff toilet facilities on LU they were a never ending source of
grief. The scale of damage and abuse to such facilities is
incredible. And just before anyone responds I am not saying they are
not an essential facility for the public. They clearly are valued
and important but the way a minority of the public treat them it is a
wonder there are any public toilets anywhere.

That's why the city council introduced 20p charges for Cambridge public
toilets. It was found to reduce such abuse dramatically.

There is a solution right there... An Oyster/CPC reader that
charges 10/20p. If people knew that their details were on record
they wouldn't smash the bogs up.

my oyster is unregistered

getting such is trivial

s'alright. You'll be on CCTV.
