Discover what it means to “spend a penny” at the Great Exhibition of 1851 and then use London’s most patriotic restroom at the same time for the most authentically British experience you’ve ever had. The tour comes to a close in the Cellar Door Cocktail bar, where visitors are welcome to remain and have a drink in a space that was formerly used as a public toilet for guys (complete with sophisticated and unexpected amenities all its own!).
If you find this peculiar, you should realise that public services are fascinating in their own right and conceal a great many mysteries. Loo Tours was founded both by and for those with a sense of adventure who have a desire to explore the world in a different light, who have a passion for history and off-the-beaten-path experiences, and who are concerned about significant societal concerns.
