Our Journey
Born from personal experience and frustration while traveling across the UK, Nearest Toilets To Me emerged as a solution to a common yet often overlooked aspect of travel planning. After countless adventures hampered by the unexpected challenge of finding suitable facilities, we decided to create a comprehensive resource that addresses this universal need.
The UK Public Toilet Landscape
The United Kingdom offers a diverse range of public toilet options, from historic Victorian facilities in London to modern automated units in Edinburgh. Unfortunately, recent years have seen a significant decline in public toilet availability, with over 40% of public facilities closing in the past decade due to council budget cuts.
This reduction makes knowledge about remaining facilities all the more valuable for travelers, especially those with medical conditions, families with young children, or elderly individuals exploring the beautiful British countryside and historic cities.
