Public toilets, some advice please

and no toilets there, need to use the station ones.

I really do think you need to email the Dungeon and complain though, if they have a bar they should offer customer toilets.

They're not serving alcohol currently because they don't serve substantial meals, do they still need to provide a toilet?
 
I always think we are very lucky to have so many free public toilets in the UK. Go to many European cities and they will charge you to use the loo. Mind you, they are usually a lot cleaner as a result but its a bit awakard when you have no change on you!

There's a reason cashless payment vendors like nayax (the yellow card machines often found on vending machines) advertise using their hardware for toilets.
 
There are definitely free toilets in the Dungeons, as there are some straight after the photo point, before you queue for the introduction/elevator scene. However I've never noticed them at the end of the attraction, though surely there must be some considering they've a bar selling drinks. Pretty unfortunate if you feel the need to turn your bike around after the show.
 
Pretty sure the only toilets at the end of the dungeons are downstairs below the London eye area. And once you’ve left the bar they won’t let you back in. However no idea if they’ll be open currently.
 
I actually have a phobia of toilets. Not sure why, but all phobias by definition are technically irrational. Ones that make you feel isolated, have loads of tiles, black toilet seats and Victorian style cisterns are the worst, I just can't use them without being terrified. So with pay toilets I'd like to see before I buy.

Legally, places that provide food and drink for consumption on the premises have to offer a free toilet service. But the lack of free toilets nowadays is understandable, if annoying. Cash strapped councils and business have very little incentive to have them unless absolutely necessary.

Managing a part of a business that includes a free public toilet provision, I can tell you that they are just an absolute cash drain. Water, electricity, maintenance, soap, toilet paper and most of all labour costs associated with cleaning. They are a pain in the ass to manage. You also wouldn't believe the abuse they suffer, you really see a different side of humans when you see how they treat toilets they're not responsible for the upkeep of. Absolutely repulsive and a terrible job for the person who has to clean them.

I hate using urinals but, living in London, I just walk in any pub and use the loo. I suppose it's not so easy these days but I had to go between buses on my way to work and was dancing whilst giving info for track and trace at one in Croydon. They didn't mind that I wasn't a customer.

Back in the day, I used to walk down the south bank with a friend and always went to the same pub to pee and insisted we never ever buy anything from there. Eventually, one day, with nowhere else to go, we did. I'll never forgive myself or her for that. It was such a source of fun because she was so against just going into a pub to use the loo...
