Public toilets in Belfast

67 public toilets across Belfast. Browse the full list below.

Belfast's provision is a proper mix: council blocks like Bankmore Square and Agnes Street, the toilets in Botanic Gardens and Belmont Park, civic buildings from the Central Library to the Waterfront, and Belfast Castle if your walk takes you up Cave Hill. Lanyon Place (Central) station covers arrivals.

Nearly everything we list in the city is free, and the parks are a reliable standby during daylight — Botanic in particular sits handily between Queen's and the city centre. As with most cities, the gaps show after hours, when the parks lock and the civic buildings close.

Check the map for what's open around you now, and the listing's notes before you count on a specific block.
