It’s Not the Bog-Standard London Experience!
Prepare to be immersed (metaphorically, that is!) in a world where the humble toilet becomes a portal to explore history, anthropology, art, architecture, identity, and of course, our sense of humour.
From the earliest latrines through to the future of flushing your guide will take you on a whirlwind tour through the history of Britain’s public toilets, with plenty of interesting sights and practical tips along the way. You’ll answer all the questions you never knew you had… How did the Romans wipe their bottoms? Was there really a man named Thomas Crapper? How long will you spend in the smallest room in a lifetime? And why do we even call it a loo?
It’s the perfect day out for anyone who likes to dive a bit deeper… lifelong Londoners and first time visitors alike! One thing is for sure: you may never think about a simple visit to the lavatory the same way again!
