How many times have you been caught desperate for a wee on the Underground, between necking a few pints at the pub and heading to your next stop? Too many, that’s how many. Because as much as we love the tube, it has one glaring problem: hardly any of the damn stations have toilets. But now one knight in shining underpants has come to point out that there are in fact some loos on the London Underground. And not only that, but there is a handy map that shows you were all of them are.
Below we’ve listed every tube station with a lavvy so next time hopefully you won’t get caught short.
Where are the tube toilets?
Your best bet for finding a place to pee is on the outer edges of the lines. In central London, you’re not likely to have much luck. In terms of lines, the District, Central, and Elizabeth lines are most likely to have facilities along the way. If you’ve got a weak bladder, we suggest avoiding the Northern line which has the fewest toilets.

More than you thought, eh? And thankfully more toilets for TfL are on the way. Mark Evers, chief customer officer at TfL, said: ‘We are in the early stages of work to improve and expand toilet facilities on our network, which we recognise are important for customer care and particularly for disabled customers.
‘This will include an audit of existing facilities including the location of toilets, quality of the facilities provided and opening hours. The study will also help us identify opportunities for introducing more toilets.’
It’s about time!
