Public toilets in London

2,197 public toilets across all 33 boroughs. Pick a borough or a central neighbourhood below, or see what's open around you right now.

Needing a toilet in London is a solved problem more often than people think — the trick is knowing where the reliable ones cluster. The big stations are the surest bet: King's Cross has toilets on Platform 9 and the upper mezzanine, Victoria's are right on the central concourse, and Victoria Coach Station has them on both the departures and arrivals sides. All are free, all keep long hours, and none of them ask for a ticket.

Away from the terminals, the parks and civic buildings quietly carry the load — Victoria Park keeps several blocks running from the Jubilee toilets westward, Victoria Tower Gardens sits a minute from Parliament, and borough libraries like Victoria Library in Belgravia do the work dedicated street blocks used to. Better still, London defies its reputation for charging: more than nine in ten of the toilets we list here are free to use.

This page covers the whole of Greater London — pick a borough below, jump into a central neighbourhood like Soho or Borough, or open the live map to see what's open around you right now.

Common questions

Are there free public toilets in London?
Yes — 2,033 of the 2,197 public toilets we list across London are free to use.
Are there accessible toilets in London?
1,150 of the toilets we list in London are recorded as wheelchair accessible, including 10 Changing Places facilities. Step-free options cluster where you'd hope: station concourses, big venues and hospital entrances (King's College Hospital keeps one by its main entrance). Borough-run street blocks vary more — some are RADAR-locked or keep shorter hours than the gates around them — so check the access notes on a listing before making a special trip.
Which toilets in London are open late?
The station toilets run with the trains, so King's Cross and Victoria cover you until around the last services. After that, genuinely 24-hour options are rare — late-opening supermarkets and fast-food branches are the honest fallback, and the map's “Open now” filter reads each listing's recorded hours so you don't gamble on a locked gate.
