A big old penny to use, unless the person before held the door open for you on coming out. I think they usually did for kids. Always clean and tidy though, and nobody standing with a hand out for a tip!

The rather grandiose topping to the loo was the result of trying of sell it off, marketing it as a potential photographic studio. Unfortunately, having only the single entrance/exit, renders it a commercial premises non-starter for reasons of Health & Safety. It remains a controversial, conversational convenience.

I just today wrote about it on my blog and included pictures of the well-preserved interior:

Thanks. Like other people I particularly admired the one in Foley Street. There used to be a magnificent public lavatory in Penge – I haven’t been there for years but hope that it has survived.
