Public toilets in Glasgow City

139 public toilets across Glasgow City. Choose a town below, or browse the full list.

Glasgow does much of its provision through buildings you'd walk past without thinking: libraries from Anniesland to Baillieston, leisure centres like Bellahouston, and a community toilet scheme that even includes a 24-hour option in the city. Add the supermarkets — Aldi and Asda branches across Govan and Cardonald — and you're rarely far from somewhere.

Most of what we list is free, and Glasgow scores unusually well on step-free access — around three-quarters of its listed toilets are wheelchair accessible, one of the better rates of any UK city. Beyond the centre, Rutherglen, Renfrew and Bearsden each have their own spread.

Match days and gig nights put sudden pressure on everything near Hampden and the Hydro, so check the map before kick-off rather than at half-time.
