Living In The Toilet
This article on the BBC, shows how even the smallest buildings in London are being converted into homes and other uses. The opening paragraph says it all.
Converting abandoned public toilets in London into flats and businesses is providing a solution to rising property prices for some.
I don’t think it’s just about property prices. The conversions that I’ve seen both in the article and on the television, seem to be stylish and are good adverts for their designers and architects.
Remember too, that many of these buildings were very well built in the Victorian era and are still sound buildings. After all we’ve seen offices and warehouses transformed into stylish dwellings, so why not the smaller ones too?
The Anonymous Widower 
I went to a bar that was a converted Victorian toilet…apparently frequented by the likes of Oscar Wilde…so a posh loo too!

There was a wonderful film in the 1960s about the toilets of London. It was released as a short to go with the main feature.
