The Grade II listed Bruce Grove public conveniences in Tottenham, which closed in the 1980s, have now been removed from Historic England’s Heritage at Risk Register.
The building, which dates back to 1910, has been restored and extended to include a café, accessible public toilets, and a garden room.
Cllr Ruth Gordon, Haringey Council’s cabinet member for placemaking and the local economy, said: “We have some incredible architectural gems across our borough, and I’m delighted that this valued heritage asset near Bruce Grove station has been beautifully restored and removed from the Heritage at Risk Register.
“Once a pioneering space for public access and women’s independence, it has now reopened as a vibrant café, community hub, and modern public facility – honouring its past while serving today’s needs.”
The project was championed by campaign group The Last Elm, which collaborated with the council and heritage experts.
Funding came from Haringey Council, Historic England’s High Street Heritage Action Zone, and the Mayor of London’s Good Growth Fund.
The projects are part of the wider Shaping Tottenham programme, which was built on engagement via Tottenham Voices – a collaboration between communities, the council and partners to develop priorities for Tottenham’s future.
