PUBLIC CONVENIENCES
There are seven Public conveniences in all which have been constructed at various times
between 1900 and 1939.
Increase in Free Lavatory Accommodation
A proposal to increase the number of Free W.Cs. in the Public Conveniences was put into
force in April of this year and 12 Paid W.Cs. were converted to Free W.Cs., thus providing a
minimum of two Free W.Cs. in each convenience. In one male and one female convenience,
this number was increased to three.
It is felt that many members of the public prefer to pay when using a toilet in a
public convenience and for that reason the toilets have not all been converted to free use.
Replacement - West Kensington
It is proposed to replace the old underground convenience at Gibbs Green with a modern
convenience as soon as possible, and a suitable site near the existing convenience has been
found. Unfortunately, there are still some obstacles to be overcome and it is likely to be
some considerable time before building can commence.
New Site - Wandsworth Bridge Road
Efforts to reach a settlement regarding a possible site for a new public convenience in
this area have not yet proved successful.
