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. 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!
In line with this year’s theme of “Voices” public toilets play a vital role in making neighbourhoods accessible to all sorts of people. They are also a venue which amplifies cultural norms and anxieties around class, gender, race, and disability. It is our hope that this lighthearted exploration of their history can be a gateway and provoke guests to consider exploring the deeper impact and importance of these spaces.
