This a post that will be updated over time, so you’ll need to keep an eye for new additions!
Having a wee is something I think many people take for granted, and don’t realise how something they do every day, many times a day, without even thinking about, can be a constant issue for others.
When there are limited amounts of toilets around that you can use, it’s something that you are constantly aware of. Without realising it you are subconsciously keeping a mind map of where all the accessible toilets are. When you go past one, you add it to your invisible map. Thinking, ‘does this one need a key?’ ‘is it easy to get to through a busy restaurant?’ ‘will people have to stand up to let me pass?’ ‘how wide is the door?’ do I think it’s being used as an extra store cupboard (believe me this happens more than you would ever imagine, I open up an accessible loo to find a mop, some chairs and a vacuum cleaner!)
I don’t even know I’m doing it at the time, seeping up all this information. But ask me at any destination I know or have visited briefly and I can tell you where the best accessible toilet is, it’s layout, how clean it is, do you need a radar key, how many ginormous unnecessary bins will be in your way, how large the sink is, is there turning room and how nice the hand soap is! Honestly my PA’s and I have lengthy discussions about the toilet we are in and the hand soap they supply. (While she is climbing over me and/or bins without pulling the emergency cord by mistake, after locking the door behind us!).
So my aim here is to provide a list of accessible toilets, the good and the bad, the pretty and the ugly. I will photograph, describe and give ratings to these toilets that hopefully amuse and inform you.
I’d also be interested in hearing your stories of accessible toilets, and include some guest bloggers!

A great post! I get so frustrated at the lack of accessible… anything when out. Toilets are especially bad. My local hospital had the red cord all tied up the other day in the disabled toliet I went into. They should know better. đŸ˜•

Wow they really should know better, but I find it everywhere. Why have a red cord if people can’t access it in an emergency?! Toilets are one of the most frustrating thing about being a wheelchair user. And they shouldn’t have to be.
