Public toilets in Brighton and Hove

119 public toilets across Brighton and Hove. Choose a town below, or browse the full list.

Brighton's toilets live where Brighton lives: along the seafront. Black Rock and Madeira Drive have blocks serving the beach crowds, the station covers arrivals, and the parks — Blakers up in Fiveways, Stanmer out by the university — carry the inland side. Hove and Portslade add their own spread to the west.

Essentially everything we list in the city is free, and baby changing is recorded at a healthy share of it — this is a city set up for family day-trippers. The catch is seasonal pressure: a hot Saturday multiplies demand on the seafront blocks by more than the map can convey, and the queue at Madeira Drive is its own institution.

Check the map for what's open now, especially out of season when seafront blocks shorten their hours.

Which toilets in Brighton and Hove are open late?
The station serves train hours and the marina's superstore runs late. Seafront and park blocks close in the evening — earlier out of season — so after dark, head for the station end of town or check the open-now map first.
