It would be relevant to start with a small toilet humor. A summary of bars in old public Loos? Everyone is a place where you can get angry. Especially when you feel flush.
Let’s go on. London is full of bars in old Loos, and although it is less ideal, the public convenience decreases, at least in its place there is a variety of fun and inventive places to drink.
With the latest work that can soon be opened, London’s top toilets that have become drinking dens are. In view of the dormant public toilets that are sitting, there could be much more of it in our middle. Please note that Ladies & Men in Kentish Town, one of the first to open, are currently closed, while Chiringuito in Betnal Green, a former Taqueria and cocktail bar, was permanently closed last year in a former public toilet.
Barrett Street Loos
The developers saw their suggestions for converting the tiny 43 -m square meters of Street -Loos near the Bond Street into a bar with green light. The Westminster Council recommended that plans to be approved at a meeting on January 4, and so the premises could be open this year. Details on the project remain sparse, but the city councils insisted that no more than 34 customers in the event location would not be approved at a certain point in time – indeed.
WC Clapham
The old Victorian water cabinet on the edge of Clapham Common was the first toilet to open in London. A beautiful room, drinkers descend old stone steps to find a cozy room with candlelight. Old white tiles and original wood remain, the building had fallen for 30 years before it was lovingly restored. According to rumors, the toilet was once used by gay lovers to meet when it was illegal.

Toilet bloomsbury
WC Bloomsbury on a traffic island is located in a former class II water cabinet, which is more than 120 years old today. It was opened under the same brand after the success of the Clapham location and also has original wooden stands – now stalls – and the Victorian porcelain, tiles, granite and marble. Offered today, cocktails from £ 9, a hardworking wine list and pleasant antipasti.

Companion Fitzrovia
A café, not a bar, but a beautiful one and deserves a place in this list. The fitzrovia associated with it is housed in a toilet from the 1890s and has the original urinal of Doullton and Co. Porcelain, each converted into seats of the counter. The place is small, although there are additional banquet seat seats on the back. Have a look for excellent coffee, pastries, a hot sandwich of the day and various salads.

Bermondsey Arts Club
One of the most beautiful bars in London, Art Deco in black, white and chrome, Bermondsey Arts Club is a former toilet near the Borough market. It is a transcending place, dark illuminated and with considered, properly mixed cocktails. At about £ 10 everyone is a good price -performance ratio. Visit live jazz on Wednesdays and stay there to the godless hours thanks to a rare late license.

Cellar door
The cellar door near Covent Garden was once a men’s toilet (and the house), which was visited by Libertinen like Oscar Wilde, dramatist Joe Orton and the famous Thespian John Gielgud. Today it is a cocktail bar and a venue in which Burlesque Nights, Cabaret and Jazz take place. The list of drinks is long, but solid and contains a section entitled “Dandy Classics” for those who hope to conjure up feelings of old and illegal potioners.

The high cross
The Hohe Cross in Tottenham was a public toilet that was built in the 1920s. Today it is a petite pub with a strong selection of barrel -Aales from numerous local suppliers, redemption, beavertown and bohem. Good cakes to eat too. The name High Cross comes from a nearby historical monument: it was once the center of the village of Tottenham in the 17th century, which was long swallowed by the London trade fair. The original tiles were scrubbed and the tables are illuminated by candlelight and decorated with flowers.
