London Loo Codes

And here it is, the google doc! Please share this as widely as you can, and keep the codes coming our way! docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d… A thread on this:

Showerbox is an amazing initiative to provide showers to people sleeping rough in London. A donation in someone's name would make a great and meaningful last-minute gift: justgiving.com/crowdfunding/s…

@TazzTizz Thank you :)

@ldnloocodes Really great page! Saw this on BBC Online! Prior to financial cutbacks there were many accessible loos, & loos in general. Yes you can go into many coffee shops, which costs. But that defeats the object, as will need loo shortly afterwards! Keep up the good work!

If one were to swing, say, a bag or scarf on the other side of the gates in the loos on Regent's Park Broad Walk, it would activate the exit sensor and cause the gates to open. Wild. Please don't share.

(this gate is also now contactless only so unless you have a contactless card or smartphone, you couldn't pay to use these loos even if you wanted to.)

@LondonLooTours We'd def welcome any ideas, thoughts and feedback you have!!

@ldnloocodes There's been a lot of talk about this in the various groups we are part of! Looking forward to seeing what you do next!

We hope to be back on sending out loo codes again soon. In the meantime, we're thinking about how we can push for public loo provision, and about places like Regent's Park that are charging for their loos, and will post an update soon. Thank you for your patience and support.

@youngfabians @hwfmorris @AnticsEditors Just to clarify - we've said on a few occasions that we see opening up the immediately available network of loos in cafés across the city a stopgap until councils provide more public toilets. I think I even described their closure as a plunder of the commons somewhere!

"If we show the same care with other areas of our society that we should with public amenities such as toilets, we’ll be better placed to tackle the bigger problems our post-Covid society will undoubtedly face."--@hwfmorris bit.ly/2GgIMND @AnticsEditors

@kitty_catcatra I'm so sorry, we've been offline for a bit. I hope you got something sorted!

@jeremyrh @ToriesRshit I cannot speak for both of us (two of us run this) but at this point I have peed in every bush in every park in North London.

@ldnloocodes the public urinal by st martins (near oscar wilde statue) is open

Anyone know?

@ToriesRshit Thanks for your message. As far as we're aware, all public toilets are still closed, but I'll retweet in case anyone knows better.

Please read this, it’s absolutely essential. Public toilets have been disappearing for decades, but faster than ever under austerity, and it’s both humiliating and hugely limiting for invisible disabilities

For obvious reasons our project of pushing for vital improvements to public toilet access has had to be put on ice – but we're still here, and will have a lot to say when the world begins to reopen. In the meantime, stay home if you can, and solidarity with all workers who can't.

@staceycheungtm Absolute icons. Thank you.

Goodbye weekends goodbye gym, Week after week, same lab routine. Working lika machine to make a vaccine, We’re gonna beat you, COVID19! 🦠 #neverthelessproudofthisteam

I, for one, am shocked that Waterstones doesn't care about vulnerable people. Who could have seen this coming?

@merlinjobst It's because you're so hot all the time you need taking down a peg once in a while tbh.
