Abracadabra, London
- Unique, but messy.
At the weekend I went to the toilet on a fabergé egg.
There's a sentence I never thought I'd say.

Glitter everywhere. |
Which would you choose? |
The toilets at the Abracadabra restaurant in London are definitely the most bizarre I've ever come across. There was a different surprise lurking behind every door - both in the ladies and the gents - the highlight definitely being the aforementioned egg.
There are some additional bizarre touches in the toilets, beside the fact that you get to do your business straight into a giant open mouth. On the backs of the doors are miniature screens which give a view of the bar - a bit disconcerting as it makes you wonder if there is a screen at the bar showing the inside of the toilets.
Unfortunately a couple of cubicles were out of order when we were there, but I heard a rumour that there is a mushroom shaped toilet lurking somewhere.
Highly recommended.
I liked the brass heart shaped sinks a lot. |
The gents toilets look far less appealing to me! What were they thinking?! A bit messy too. |

Hove town hall
These toilets have a very dated 80s feel (much like the rest of Hove town hall) but they deserve a mention as they are very large and divided into 3 distinct areas:
- The toilet cubicles (of which there are many).
- The sinks.
- And a huge dressing area (shown below).
Perfect for powdering one's nose. |
Another interesting feature is that there are two different doors: one for entering and one for leaving.
As you can see when I was in there it was very empty, but by the size of the place, and the fact that they need traffic control, I think they must get very busy at times!

Chigasaki Lusca
This is the toilet is great! It is on the top floor of a department store in Chigasaki, Japan. Chigasaki is a city by the sea.
Fist you go through the semi-transparent glass walls. As shown in the first picture. I like the sign for the Ladies', wearing a necklace. The sign for Men's had a surfboard. In the toilet, you can hear sound effect of waves. One cubicle is a special aroma therapy toilet. I didn't get to use it this time as I was quite desperate and it was in use. But the nice aroma can be smelt throughout the toilet. Inside the cubicle is a standard toilet. To be honest I can't remember very well as I was most overwhelmed by the features encountered on the way. There is a toilet for children too!
