In United Kingdom, 93 per cent of the listed toilets are free; 55 out of 774 charge. The paid ones tend to sit where crowds pass through: stations, shopping centres, motorway services. A few coins in your pocket will not hurt, but you will usually not need them.
The 774 toilets in United Kingdom are spread across 10 cities. London leads with 273, followed by Edinburgh with 103. That is a more even spread than in many other countries.
Step-free access and changing tables
36 per cent of entries in United Kingdom are recorded as step-free. A baby changing table is noted on 113 entries (15 per cent); with small children it is worth checking the features before you set off.
Where these numbers come from
Most entries for United Kingdom come from OpenStreetMap, the open map volunteers have been building since 2004. On top of that sit places users added in the app themselves, with ratings and photos. The two sources are kept apart so a mistake in one never overwrites the other. An entry reported as gone is hidden rather than deleted — so it can come back if the toilet reopens.
