To mark World Toilet Day 2025, the Royal Borough of Greenwich has launched a brand-new public toilet map to make it easier for residents and visitors to find clean, accessible facilities across the borough.
The new Royal Greenwich Toilet Map, created in collaboration with residents, lists more than 60 public toilets across parks, libraries, community centres, stations, and leisure facilities. It includes key details such as opening hours, accessibility features, baby changing facilities, and information on gender neutral, RADAR key, and Changing Places toilets.
Available in both print and online, the map is designed to help everyone feel more confident when out and about, including older people, parents with young children, and residents with medical conditions such as Crohn’s or Colitis.
Councillor Mariam Lolavar, Cabinet Member for Health, Adult Social Care and Borough of Sanctuary said:
“Access to safe, clean, and accessible toilets is a basic human right, not a luxury. On World Toilet Day, we are proud to launch this new toilet map to make it easier for residents and visitors to plan their journeys, stay active, and feel confident when travelling around the borough.
“This map was developed with input from residents and community partners, and it reflects our commitment to inclusivity, dignity, and wellbeing for all.”
Councillor Anthony Okereke, Leader of the Royal Borough of Greenwich said:
“We are proud to be a borough that looks after everyone, from families, to older people, to people living with health conditions. This new toilet map is an important step in making sure no one feels excluded from enjoying everything our borough has to offer.
“By producing resources like this for our residents and visitors, we are ensuring that unfair and avoidable differences in people’s wellbeing are reduced. We are committed to ensuring that everyone’s health supports them in living their best lives.”
The launch coincides with World Toilet Day, a United Nations-backed initiative that raises awareness of the importance of access to safe, clean toilets for everyone, echoing the council’s vision for an accessible and welcoming borough.
Residents and visitors can view and download the map online here, or pick up a printed copy at libraries, leisure centres and community centres. The council is also encouraging residents to report any maintenance issues via fix.royalgreenwich.gov.uk to help keep facilities running well for everyone.
