Although residing inSan Francisco (CA), I set aside time to enjoy the gentle words of each Spitalfield delight. Today’s offering touched a reflective, peaceful, altogether delightful – and, as usual, very well writtten – exoposition on the restorative values of the loo. Here is yet another contribution to our collective enlightenment that I am forwarding to friends both in the US and the UK. Thank you for the pause that truly refreshes.

Spitalfields Life goes from strength to strength, what a joy! Funnily enough this week-end I’d read about this wonderful convenience in a little book that readers may enjoy (though not as much as this blog I’m sure), ‘Secret London – An Unusual Guide’ by Rachel Howard & Bill Nash. Happy Discoveries!

– Jeanette – Blake is buried in a paupers grave. His tombstone reads “nearby lie the remains of..”

– Spiritual Life – what an amazing post. Thank you. I too am interested in fantastic toilets ( yea, I know) as I think they are the mark of civilisation! If I come across a fantastic convenience, I will take photos too. Madness. But there is a public house in Sheen called The Victoria, which has similar toilets to these, albeit they are very new. Please email me if you woudl like photos.
I can’t believe I just offered to email photos of a toilet to a stranger.

Amazing. I recently blogged about Jennings and the first ever public flushing toilets at ‘The Victorianist’.

In the blog I asked for any modern examples of surviving Victorian public lavatories, but I think this one takes the biscuit!

great post, I thoroughly enjoy your blog!
