Not sure if you're being serious or not, but I've often thought that there would be a good business opportunity for someone to open a clean, pay for use lavatory only facility in very busy cities.
Finchley Road and West Hampstead also have public lavatories. |

This was tried on Oxford Street 3-4 years ago. It lasted 6 months before going into administration.

Don't worry, the OP will be back soon protesting that he did not know what was going on at car parks in the country and someone should have warned him, so we can change the subject then. :D

Well I didn't rent a car, so I didn't come across anything like that. I don't want to drive on the left and shift with my left hand. Is the gas pedal on the right or are those reversed too with gas on left and clutch on right? That would make it extra fun to learn if I ever want to drive there.

Fair enough. I guess it's funny that this is the only part of my trip I have mentioned on FT when overall it was awesome and the UK was fun to visit. I will post a positive when I put up a TR this weekend. If there's one thing the TR forum doesn't have enough of, it's TRs of LH F and the FCT. Well I will finally fill that void and post one of my own.
But seriously, what are the positions of the pedals in cars? Thanks. |

Try Harrods on the ladies couture floor - it is very similar!

Someone really needs to start a thread compiling the best places to find a loo in central London. IME, London shops are very loo-unfriendly and those that are freely open to the public - Burger King comes to mind - are often filthy. My preferred location is Waterstone's, always clean, no hassle.
Charge GBP 5 for admittance during the day and maybe GBP 10 and have plenty of clean lavatories and a separate powder room with plenty of seats and mirrors. Also have fresh flowers, linen towels and a selection of amenities. And of course it would be well lit inside and around the entrance. I am sure that many ladies would pay for such a facility. |

The are many public bogs in the UK, both underground and overground and, while you wouldn't eat your dinner off the floor, the vast majority Ive ever used have been safe and good enough to use. Getting any type of hassle or unwanted advances would be very rare indeed, and imagine highly location-specific so I'd hate for potential UK visitors to be in any way put off popping in for a slash based on the OP's experience in one solitary particular location.
That said, there are not enough public bogs around, so unless you know where they are ahead of time chances are you'll need to avail yourself somehow else. Major railways stations are a good bet, although increasingly they have started to charge - which usually leads to better cleanliness but I avoid nonetheless as I will not pay to pee. Next best are pubs, and major chain hotels. Failing that McDonalds will do. |
There's a reason it's called 'spend a penny'!
