Locating a working loo in London is not always easy, especially on the Tube.
The lack of toilets on the London Underground, is just one of many complaints Londoners have with the network that celebrated it’s sesquicentennial anniversary in 2013.
Looking at the tube map above it’s easy to see why. In zone 1 (central London), only Baker Street (men only), Shoreditch High Street and Hoxton have any toilet facilities within the gateline and none have baby changing facilitates. Only when you get outside of central London do you start finding stations that actually have toilets in them.
However, even them you may have to pay. The following stations all charge up to 50p (75 cents) to use their facilities:
Acton Town
Alperton

Barons Court
Boston Manor
