If You Need To Use The Toilet In London

A new service might be able to assist you.

SatLav was developed by the council with Incentivated and is the brainchild of student Gail Knight, who entered the idea into a council competition.

Miss Knight, 26, said: “When I am out with friends we are always ducking into McDonalds or department stores to use their loos but we feel a bit bad about it.”

She added: “I thought a text service would be really useful for people on the move.”

Ok. But the Brits also have a health reason for this little venture:

Westminster councillor Alan Bradley said: “From today onwards nobody should get caught short again, and we understand how important that is, be it for a young mum with children in tow, older people or friends on a shopping trip or a night out.”

It is hoped that giving people a service to tell them where their nearest toilet is might also encourage them not to urinate on the street after a night on the town.

Westminster council already provides temporary urinals in the West End at weekends.

It estimates that this measure alone prevents more than 10,000 gallons (4,500 litres) of urine ending up in alleyways each year.

Oh.
