Public LifeSpending an evening in an East End public toilet may not be top of your list of priorities when it comes to planning an evening out in London, but if you're after an unusual spot from which to indulge in a bit of late night drinking then this converted convenience, come underground bar, is worth flushing out. Hidden away beneath the streets of Shoreditch with only a tiny glass awning and steep flight of stairs alerting passers-by to its presence, the bar's well-disguised location means you avoid the hefty queues and hefty prices of most West End venues. It is small inside and fairly basic in terms of decor but a varied music policy (theres usually something to suit every taste) and friendly, intimate vibe make it a popular choice for laid back lovers of drinking, dancing and... toilets!
