Unveiled by Greenwich Council, the Royal Greenwich Toilet Map has been released today, November 19, to mark World Toilet Day.
It’s designed to help residents and visitors locate more than 60 public toilets across the borough, including those in parks, libraries, community centres, stations and leisure facilities.
Councillor Mariam Lolavar, cabinet member for health, adult social care and borough of sanctuary, said: “Access to safe, clean and accessible toilets is a basic human right, not a luxury.
“On World Toilet Day, we are proud to launch this new toilet map to make it easier for residents and visitors to plan their journeys, stay active and feel confident when travelling around the borough.
“This map was developed with input from residents and community partners and it reflects our commitment to inclusivity, dignity and wellbeing for all.”
The map includes information on opening hours, accessibility features, baby changing facilities and the availability of gender-neutral, RADAR key and Changing Places toilets.
The resource is aimed at helping older people, parents with young children and those with medical conditions such as Crohn’s or Colitis to feel more comfortable when out in public.
Councillor Anthony Okereke, leader of the Royal Borough of Greenwich, said: “We are proud to be a borough that looks after everyone, from families to older people, to people living with health conditions.
“This new toilet map is an important step in making sure no one feels excluded from enjoying everything our borough has to offer.
“By producing resources like this for our residents and visitors, we are ensuring that unfair and avoidable differences in people’s wellbeing are reduced.
“We are committed to ensuring that everyone’s health supports them in living their best lives.”
The map is available online and can also be picked up in printed form at libraries, leisure centres and community centres across the borough.
