Public Toilet - Whitechapel Road


I must confess, I've never had the courage to use one of these street toilets. They just look so... grim. I'm happy to report that they are yes, grim, but perfectly usable and mostly clean. 20 pence per entry.




Yep, this is a toilet bowl. It looks unpleasant but those are mostly stains that won't wipe off. The nasty yellow is just limescale residue rather than bodily fluid stains. I'm not impressed by the lack of seat, though I suppose if they installed one it wouldn't last very long.


Here we have the highly exciting mirror and tissue dispenser. It even has a few tissues in it.


The unexpected warning, conveniently placed at eye-level.

These toilets have an auto-wash function that's triggered when you close the door. I'm guessing it's also triggered 15 minutes after the door was opened to let you in. Judging by this sign and surprising cleanliness of this toilet, you do not want to get caught in the auto-wash.
