Seven free, 24-hour automated public toilets are being installed across Islington, with units already open in Newington Green, City Road and Highbury Fields and further units opening on September 1 at Holloway Road, Seven Sisters Road and Highbury Crescent. Each WC self-cleans, disinfecting the bowl, seat, floor and walls after every use, and receives ozone-based night cleaning. Facilities include bins for general and menstrual waste. A changing facility on Islington Green will begin work on September 8 and aims to open by October 6. Local groups including Disability Action Islington, Islington Pensioners' Forum and Campaign for Loos, supported by Age UK, campaigned for improved access.
The new automated public toilets have already opened in Newington Green, City Road and Highbury Fields and will open on Holloway Road, Seven Sisters Road and Highbury Crescent on September 1. Each WC is self cleaning, with the toilet bowl, seat, floor and walls automatically disinfected after every use. At night, they'll be blitz with ozone-based night cleaning to keep them fresh. Like any good public toilet, there'll also be plenty of bins of general and menstrual waste.
When you find yourself suddenly desperate for a wee in the middle of London (especially if you're at a tube station), you're normally low on options. You could wait it out (not advised), find a busy pub to sneak into or slip into the swanky toilets of a nearby department store. Sometimes, just sometimes, there'll be an actual public toilet you can use, but they're often old and kind of grim.
