PEOPLE in Oxford are happiest with their public toilets than anywhere else in England.
71 per cent of 2,000 people who were surveyed in the city said they were satisfied with the number of toilets available.
81 per cent said they were pleased with the accessibility of these facilities.
Meanwhile, three-quarters of Londoners will buy a coffee to use a store’s toilets – rather than hunt for a public WC, according to the same research.
Over three-quarters (77 per cent) of Londoners have struggled to locate their nearest toilet when in need, with 70 per cent preferring to buy something from a coffee shop than use a free public loo.
Robert Guice, CEO at Citron Hygiene, which commissioned the research and created an interactive tool showing the state of public toilets in the UK, said: "Washroom hygiene has never been more important.
"It is clear many towns and cities across the country need to do more to provide a better public toilet experience.
"When we are out and about, we shouldn’t dread having to find our nearest facilities, and when we do find one, the state of them shouldn’t make us think twice about using them."
