Our pick of the best places to spend a penny across the city *
HOMES AND INTERIORS
LUXURY LOOS AT THE IVY
Sweet-smelling and beautifully done , The Ivy ’ s loos are seriously chic . If the gold floral wallpaper doesn ’ t wow you , then the ceiling studded with faux flowers certainly will . Probably the most luxurious loos in the city .

STAR WARS AT PIECARAMBA !
Quirky Piecaramba ! on Parchment Street is best known for its pies . But it ’ s also a fun place for all things comics and pop culture . Nip to the Star Wars-themed toilet and you ’ ll find a light saber loo roll holder , a Darth Vader hand-dryer and Princess Leia on the mirror .

DAVID ATTENBOROUGH AT INCOGNITO
Go wild at Incognito at St John ’ s House where the Ladies and Gents are jungle-themed with vegetation running down the walls . Sit back and listen to David Attenborough providing a wildlife commentary in what is without doubt the most outlandish of loos we ’ ve seen .

WORTH A LINGER AT THE BLACK BOY
Not the loveliest loos in the city , but probably the quirkiest . Look up from one of the over-sized loo seats in the Ladies at The Black Boy on Wharf Hill and you ’ ll see the ceiling is covered in dolls ’ eyes . Years of graffiti on the insides of the doors tell stories of love lost and found . In the Gents , the walls are covered in beer stickers from all over the world .
