London and public toilets are not 2 things that go together very well. The City of Westminster has a large number of public toilets - try their web site for full details. The big shops have them (Lillywhites, Hamleys etc) and there is always McDonalds or Burger King - they are everywhere and all have toilets. The big hotels have toilets but not all are easy to find - toilets that is - not hotels!!!. I usually just walk in the door and head towards the bar or restaurant having a fake conversation on my mobile phone about 'yes, I'll meet you in the bar - I'm at the hotel now.....' or similar whilst my eyes scan for the gents. Avoid the toilets at train stations - usually dire swamp holes. -- Andrew Electronic communications can be altered and therefore the integrity of this communication can not be guaranteed.

Got off the Victoria at KingsX en-route to Walthamstow on Friday night, to relieve myself and get a burger king. Walked down to the toilets and realised Children in Need took all my change when I left work (I was too awed by the presence of Sting to notice too!) Had to vault over the turnstile to get in, the attendant looked asleep though and didn't say anything (what would he have done).

In a few weeks time I am coming to London with a 4 year old boy. I am presuming he'll want to about every half an hour, where can I get a guide of toilets in stores or otherwise that would be suitable for my purposes. tried 3 stations on the victoria while bursting and in the extremely hot environment. Bah none, had to leave and make use of KFC's facilities If you have a small child in need, any tube station would probably allow you to use the staff facilities. And if your an adult you just **** on the station with the drunks? I once came out of a tube station in East London to see a guy laying on his back on the pavement taking a ****. If that is not a reason for more public toilets at tube stations i don't know what is. |
