The toilets on Euston station charge an outrageous 30p for toilets. I know, it's to stop undesirables hanging around and using the toilets. And to prevent people washing. If they want to deter pickpockets and pick up artists and panhandlers they should put video cameras and warning signs around the entrance and inside above washbasins at eye level, everywhere except inside cubicles, to track people entering and leaving the premises.
Or have somebody paid to be on site 24/7. Motorway stops can do it. Every little branch of a cafe can do it. The DLR can afford to pay three people per platform giving information and ensuring safety during major events at Excel. You could even have sponsors. These toilets managed by such and such a toilet paper or soap or coffee bar chain.
On other stations, such as Bank, there are signs warning that if you urinate in the corners of corridors (such as the one leading to the lift, which is handy if you are elderly or disabled, or carrying heavy luggage and don't want to use the stairs because you are on a long journey and tired).
Euston station is surrounded by coffee stalls, and everybody knows coffee irritates the bladder. But no free toilets. I suppose some of the long-haul trains must have toilets. Pubs have toilets. Big restaurants have toilets. McDonalds and Burger Kings - the bigger branches have toilets. As far as I'm concerned all toilets are twinned with mine back home, which sets the standard for cleanliness and toilet paper. Back in the good old days toilets cost a penny but there was always a free one, not so nice and clean, if you were caught short of change as well as caught short.
Pregnant women, pensioners with prostate problems, small children, people unfamiliar with alcohol, need toilets.
I was just reading through a page on London travel advice in my copy of the Metro newspaper when I came across a link to a watchdog. it listed
www.londontravelwatch.org.uk
I thought, before I complain to them about toilets, or lack of toilets, I'll type in toilets and see what comes up.
I found a link to a toilets map.

Of course if you choose to print it, this uses up your very expensive colour inks.
