That pic is every football ground in the 80's. A roof just made it stink worse.

The gents in the Philharmonic pub in Liverpool are quite remarkable...

I remember some years back, someone returning to the office after lunch with photos of the toilets in the Regency Tavern which were impressively opulent. He then told us how he had to explain to an incoming patron what he was doing standing in the middle of the gents taking photos

Best at Covent Garden, ultra clean, brass and copper shining. Worst, Stafford Rangers FC, smell it 25 mtrs away, a long wall to pee against, no hand washing etc.

I was just gonna post this up myself. They really are quite splendid and spotlessly clean on the various times I have been in there.
I believe Wookey hole is better lit than the Vetch's toilets, your eyes are obviously better than mine to see that! My sense were working overtime alright, but on the stench!Vetch Field is up there with one of the worst football ground toilets I’ve been in. I couldn’t believe how dark it was in there but when my eyes adjusted I could just make out a large Birmingham City crest drawn on the wall

I ran a course at Walthamstow Public Library a few years back. It was next to the market and all the market traders came into the one small toilet to have their morning dump. Horrific. Also remember going in the aluminium urinals at Priestfield which were designed for maximum splashback. Wore shorts once, maybe our first game there, and came back with a soaking leg and most of it wasn't mine.

last summer I went on holiday to Saltcoats in Scotland staying in a caravan park. We were a bit early on the day of arrival so popped into the town. My son decided he needed the toilet after a long drive so we found some public toilets on the seafront. My word. It was a bit like that scene in trainspotting, absolute dive
Always found the public ones opposite the number 7 bus stop at the top of george street to be really, really grim

Public khazis, Place Lane, Seaford. The stench of urine in that facility has been consistently overpowering for 20 years plus. You could burn those bogs down, spray the foundations with radioactive decontamination foam and put a pot pourri shop on top and you'd still smell it. Not to mention the khazi pans being regularly covered in arse choccy. Avoid.
Your appearance on this thread puts me in mind of your 'jogging' incident, when your emergency dump was inadvertently executed in full view of a passing trainload of startled passengers. Never fails to make me laugh - I may have to go and try to find it. (The original post, not the foul deposit, obvs).

Yes, that was quite the adventure. Westbound passengers arriving at Southwick Station in the late afternoon that day may have been greeted by a brief passing spectacle of me behind a tree conducting an impromtu cleaning-up operation on my nipsy, using my own undercrackers (which were subsequently abandoned amongst the leaves).
We've all been there.

Always impressed with the Portaloos on hiking trails in the States considering the amount of use they get.
I note the OP put 'in the UK' but I'm going to mention the worst ever anyway, which was the hole in the ground that served as the single shitter at a football tournament for 12 eleven a side (plus subs, fans and 'coaches') teams in Kaoshuing, Taiwan, a place that's still warm in winter and never drops below 30c in summer. You could smell it from Belgium. And, yes, we did go out on the lash on the Saturday night and then 'play' on the Sunday.
However, the worst in England, by an absolute country mile, is the toilets upstairs at the pub attached to the Premier Inn in Wolverhampton where they make any away fan who hasn't been sensible enough to drink in Birmingham go. We were in there the season we beat them 3-2 in November and, because there was a train strike, we were on Seagull Travel. It got to Wolves before the car park opened at around midday. By 1pm climbing the stairs to the kermits was fraught with danger due to the combination of the smell and stickiness of said stairs. Once you got in there the floor was two centimetres deep in "water" and someone had vommed in a cubicle, which was blocked. Although that wasn't putting off the queue of 10 or so young lads who urgently needed a shit
.
The best is Etch in Hove. They have the proper heated button controlled Japanese khazis of my dreams.

One doesn't expect to die having a pee.
However these ones outside The Cambridge Covent Garden take some beating. If you can be done for exposure having a pee in a lay-by yet here in the centre of a very busy area men are expected to get their bits out. It's suitable for two types, those that are proud and like to show, then those that are so small no one sees anything.

Not the best but very well looked after are the Battle Train Station toilets.
