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.

Steki, Brighton

The toilets at Steki, a Greek restaurant were clean but very basic. No decoration or special features.  White doors white tiles, white walls, nothing to entertain my visit. The sink is in the cubicle but the hand dryer is outside.

Nasza, Brighton

The facilities in this Polish restaurant are my favourite to date.
Very spacious unisex toilets with scented candles, plants & a basket full of hand towels.
Great.
