    Ok coffee, definitely the place is much better than the coffee. 1890s public gents transformed into a coffee place a must see in London. Full review... Read more

    Attendant occupies London’s most original location for a coffee bar: a late-nineteenth-century gents’ toilet. I'll Just have to resist making puns, it'll piss you off.

    Coffee is OK! Flat white is intense and has bitter aftertaste.

    Great location it's very kitsch. Coffee was yum and the staff were lovely. Plus BBC discount available.

    Ingenious use of space in a former public toilet. Good coffee, but expensive and small portions of food. Waffles are great, but... only one came on the plate.. Yet, it was filling!

    Amazing conversion, great coffee, rude staff - which could have been because it was hotter than a sauna in there.

    Kitsch at its finest. Ridiculously amazing coffee. Free wifi. No flash photography inside. Benches upstairs. Curbside service bell to the side of the door. PS. Be warned - no working toilets here.

    Good coffee from Caravan, but it's just weird. No comfy chairs, but otherwise a decent place to get a coffee if you can get over the environment.
