Comments on: Toilets at Dawn https://spitalfieldslife.com/2010/12/15/toilets-at-dawn/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Fri, 17 May 2019 09:58:50 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0.1 By: Lorraine https://spitalfieldslife.com/2010/12/15/toilets-at-dawn/#comment-1287303 Fri, 17 May 2019 09:58:50 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=18397#comment-1287303 Delighted to have stumbled across these photos. I remember going down the public loos in Lambs Conduit Street as a teenager on the way to get the bus to secondary school most mornings in the 60’s to put on the mascara my parents wouldn’t let me wear!

It was cleverly converted into a flat about 10 years ago. Amazing and so much part of London life.

A small grant for a discerning businessman/woman for a general clean and paint up and man them and charge 50 pence for their usage. £1 up the West End, nice little money spinner for someone.

How totally inconsiderate of the powers-that-be to close down these essential facilities! I remember the paper in the one in Kentish Town Road: “COUNCIL PROPERTY / DO NOT REMOVE”

Don’t know whether it was really frequented by Oscar Wilde but a nice story nonetheless.

I’ve lived in the area for 10 years. Often wondered what it was ‘cos on the other side of the road there is a similar entrance to a beauty salon.
