Public toilets in Newcastle upon Tyne

43 public toilets across Newcastle upon Tyne. Choose a town below, or browse the full list.

Newcastle keeps things compact: Central Station has toilets on the concourse, Eldon Square covers the shopping quarter with facilities on more than one level, and the Civic Centre, City Library and Discovery Museum all open their doors during the day.

Nearly everything we list in the city is free, and Newcastle punches above its weight on serious accessibility — it's one of the few cities in our data with two Changing Places facilities. Baby changing is recorded at more than half the toilets we list here, which makes the city centre unusually workable with a pram.

Evenings narrow the options to the station and late shops, as everywhere — check the map's open-now view before setting off across town.
