As others have said, most major tourist attractions and department
stores will have at least reasonably good toilet facilities and all
restaurants are obliged to have toilets. Facilities at railroad
terminals are not always as good as one might hope!

I don't think you will find any of this a problem so long as you take
preventative action by passing a department store, restaurant or
tourist attraction (and there are an awful lot of all three!) at the
sort of frequency required by a 4-year-old!

As nobody else seems to have mentioned it, many of the toilets in
railway stations, other public attractions and even in department stores
nowadays, are pay on entry, so make sure you have plenty of small change
(20p usually) handy.

I raise you the Chinese Opera House we visited in Beijing some 15 years
ago.

The toilet was a strip of concrete with holes every few feet and turds
littered everywhere.

I suddenyl didn't need to go any more.

I don't think I will see you on that one:-(

Sounds very similar to the Hotel Tatarstan in Kazan' a few years
ago. One of our party headed for the Ladies, commenting that he'd never been
anywhere in the world where the Ladies weren't considerably cleaner than the
Gents; he came back saying that he had now...

Luckily I was staying at a private hotel with basic Western
facilities.

The award for the worst toilets I have ever seen goes to the entrance
lodge (east) for the Serengetti in Tanzania. You could smell them 50ft
away. I'll spare you the details......

I nominate those at Kano airport in 1971. Foetid and lots of odd bugs
crawling around inside.

Cue for: "It's no good standing on the seat, the bugs in here can jump six
feet", or similar.

LOL!!!!!

It was crabs, rather than bugs, when I first heard it. To try to get
back on topic, I don't think they were of the 2-6-0 variety.

How is that apostrophe pronounced - as a glottal stop?

I haven't often been in ladies' toilets, but I've always found them worse
than the gents. The graffiti is worse, and they tend to hover and spray,
rather than touch the seat...

etc) and there is always McDonalds or Burger King - they are everywhere
and all have toilets.

Don't rely on stations, large or small, having any such facilities.


Avoid the Green Park loos on the Piccadilly Line. Not
only are they grubby, the last time I had to use them there
were a lot of very suspect guys loitering about.

The worst loos in London that I've come across are the
public loos at Camden Lock market. Even the flies
complain about the filth :-)

They are free, and generally well-kept, at Marylebone station. Other
London terminals mainly charge 20p, but these days they are normally
spotlessly clean with an attendant present. This being the case, I
don't mind paying.

Westminster public toilets are better, they're usually spotlessly clean
with an attendant present and they're free.

I can think of one near Embankment tube, one near Charing Cross tube
under Trafalgar Square, one in the Westminster tube station public
subway and another near Methodist Central Hall.

The worst is any one which is shut when needed!

There usually seems to be an attendant beggar sat on the stairs at
Victoria.
