£5 For A Pee

Women - would you pay £5 to have a pee? The owners of the WC-1 think women will.

There's a reception area; relaxing music plays in each of the 19 cubicles and, with the thoughtful installation of "considerate lighting", there is nothing bog standard about this loo.

The 4,000 sq ft central London sanctuary will have a bouncer on the door to prevent overcrowding and will provide hair dryers, straightening irons, high-end toiletries and cubicles vast enough for patrons to change into a ball gown, if necessary.

Beyond the cubicles, there is a sumptuous marble-floored powder room with huge mirrors and super-comfortable vanity stools. Every possible toilette emergency has been considered in the £1 million fit and everything from spare tights to toothbrushes to make-up kits and aromatherapy oils will be on sale.

The toilet opens next week and is situated opposite Selfridges on Oxfor Street. [via]

Yes. I would pay. Sometimes; not every time; but yes.
