Before my first real review, I must apologize to the citizens of the UK. As a foreigner to your land, there my be some things in your WCs that I find odd, or confusing, and I may harp on them mercilessly. But I will either learn the error of my ways in time, or I may only appeal to foreigners traveling to the UK. We shall see...My first toilet is located in the Crown Tavern, also known as the Crown on the Green, in Clerkenwell. The ladies room is located up the stairs, to the right of the large upstairs sitting room, which remains virtually empty until after 6:30. The decor is the first thing I noticed in here. There were live potted-plants on the sinks. There was wood paneling on the walls with beautiful wall paper above it. Unlike in most bathrooms in American bars, the designers here did not forget the bathroom. There are two stalls with a descent amount of space in them, but with only two for the entire 2 story pub, there will inevitably be a line. The rubbish bin is located a bit too close to the toilet, so unfortunately you rub up against it while you sit. There is a large mirror above the two pedestal sinks, good for the make-up and hair touch-ups before heading out to rejoin your party.
- Cleanliness - 1 flushes
- Aroma - 1.5 flushes
- Soap - I believe it was blue and smelled a bit like strawberries (but I did have a couple glasses of wine)
- Pros - good lighting, beautiful decor, live plants
- Cons - only two toilets, no paper towels (but this seems like something I'll have to get used to since they don't ever seem to be offered)
- Overall experience - 1.5 flushes
