The Canterbury district is really three places: the cathedral city itself, and Whitstable and Herne Bay on the coast. In the city, toilets sit exactly where the day takes you — by the cathedral precincts, at Canterbury Lane just off the high street, at both stations (East and West), and at the coach park's Welcome Centre where the tour groups land.

Whitstable and Herne Bay each have a proper spread of seaside blocks, from the working harbour to Beltinge, and nearly everything across the district is free. For a place that hosts this many visitors, that's quietly generous.

Summer weekends and cathedral-city coach traffic make the centre busy fast — the map's open-now view will point you to the quieter option a street away.
