Snapped this at King’s Cross today — honestly had to double-check if I was seeing it right.
I get that the Tube can be stressful, and sometimes nature really calls… but this was next-level.
Makes you wonder though — with how huge the Underground network is, and how long the waits between trains can be, should TFL actually have more accessible public toilets inside stations?
Londoners, what’s the wildest thing you’ve seen on the Tube?
(And yes, this one definitely zapped me for the day.)

  1. He’s lucky it didn’t zap him for the day too, right on the  🍆⚡

  2. Public toilets in stations would become grim very quickly because you know they wouldn’t be adequately staffed or maintained

  5. That’s wild. I wonder how long his commute journey was that he couldn’t hold it and wait till he gets to his destination or whatever. Even if he decided to go to a nearby cafe or pub to use the bathroom there would have only been a (at most) 5 minute wait till the next tube. I do think accesible toilets in stations would be a good idea (mostly for children, diabled people, elderly, etc) but still there is no excuse for doing your business on the tracks.

  7. The lack of public toilets in London is truly shocking, especially at places like train stations. I’m more surprised that I don’t see people pissing in public more often.

  10. I have thought of many things while waiting for the tube but taking a picture of a random person pissing has never been one of them.

  12. Good to see that the Andrew formerly known as Prince is getting on with his life.

  13. Imagine someone barges him onto the tracks when a train’s coming. He dies and becomes the Ghost of Kings Cross that wanders with his willy out.

  17. Is it bad that I can tell it’s small from the angle and the trajectory of his pee?

  18. The OP’s text looks AI-assisted. I don’t trust photos any more, either.

  23. Saw a young kid shit in a plastic bag at a station. Oxford Circus I think.

  24. Me: hasn’t pissed in a urinal in decades because I can’t go if there’s even a possibility of someone seeing me.

    This guy: …

  25. I get the public toilets situation in London isn’t great, but they are opening up more in stations. Plus if this is King’s Cross there are so many coffee shops, pubs and restaurants they are so busy no one will notice if you pop in to use the loo, if you’re that desperate.

  26. Saw a guy pissing in the car park of the gym they were about to go into, which obviously has toilets.

  28. Apparently if youre diabetic and loudly proclaim it, this is okay

  31. Just give more stations toilets, its way past time.

  33. Genuinely valid. No public toilet access on what is for some people an up to 2 hour journey is ridiculous, and many people have non obvious conditions causing them to pee more frequently and urgently. Better their dignity than their bladder. Be more considerate.

  34. Apparently someone has died doing this from directing his continuous stream on the rail and electrocuted through his penis
