  1. So long as they are maintained. Went to Battersea Park and had to frequent. The Building once finished featured in the AJ I believe. But inside disgusting and the outside intended ‘ architecture’ just covered with anti pigeon mesh and guards.

    In truth I don’t think you will every achieve a ‘World Class’ public convenience’ And in Oxford Street after it has gone down hill so much ?

  2. Are they going to be as good as the infamous ones in One New Change?

  3. If they don’t blast warm water up my bum and make bird sounds I don’t want them

  4. Hilarious. Politicians are just totally unable to speak like normal people. World class toilets my arse (see what I did there).

  5. It’s just so obviously not true lol Japanese toilets are on another level, not because of the quality, but because junkies don’t smear excrement ok the walls or leave needles on the floor constantly.

    I took a piss in a public loo in Hackney and someone had balled up toilet paper and blocked the hole for junkies to drop used needles in.

    The problem with the UK isn’t even the facilities, it’s the psychology.

  6. Pedestrianisation? But traders need access to Dixon’s

  7. Easier than finding a pub in soho. I have my special favourite pub toilets around there now.

  8. If they want to beat France they’ll need a grumpy Madame peepee shaking you down for spare change and a squat and drop toilet for those in a hurry.

  9. IKEA Oxford Circus has toilets on floor -1 next to the cafe.

  10. Having used public toilets in other parts of the world, I’m not sure this is a good idea.

  11. I will destroy each and everyone of those toilets (epic bowel movement, not mindless vandalism…though technically it would vandalism after a consumption of dairy)

  12. Imo every row of shops should have at least one publicly accessible good quality loo. Along with every tube station and other hub.

  13. Yeah…then the great unwashed can make a world class mess in them.

  14. Toilets are available in numerous department stores and eateries along the road. I don’t see why we need to focus on individual and separate ones.

  15. And be destroyed by the druggies on the first day.

  16. I’m not sure how to phrase this without sounding weird and into scatology… But there’s something fascinating about London’s public toilets. The fact they’re always fucked up, the interesting history of cruising and drug use. The old designs – graffiti. So transient, so filthy. So many questions

  17. I paid £0,80 for the Embankment Station toilets and they were … ok-ish, but it felt a bit like a rip off ngl.

  18. The train stations have done this exceptionally well. From poorly maintained ones that charged 20p to clean free ones

    A modern world class city needs to provide such a function in the heart of the tourist area. And please, some piss options for the drunkards!! I know they sometimes have temporary urinals in soho on the weekend in summer, which is a small step, but some of us have a bladder full before embarking on a long night bus journey and we need facilities!!
