Londoners Are Turning Old "Loos" Into Cafés


Sipping a cup of Earl Grey next to a urinal isn't everyone's cup of tea, but at the Attendant, a trendy café in central London, nobody seems to mind.

With stairs leading below street level, the Attendant now occupies what used to be a public toilet — one of 15 Victorian-era "loos."

While it's now a coffee shop, the space retains many of the original elements, such as the urinals, which are now used as a bar.

When asked how customers respond to the idea of eating a meal at a urinal, McKeown says the reaction "has always been great."

"I don't think anyone has ever freaked out or worried about the cleanliness or food hygiene."

Melissa Barnes, who was recently spotted picking up a mid-morning coffee from the Attendant, said, "it's a cheeky-cool concept for a café. Definitely different, but not offputting in any way." Cont. (Video)
