It’s a truth,universally acknowledged,that finding a loo in London can be a nightmare.

We joke about it,but if you’ve got a health condition that requires you to spend more time in the bathroom than most,it can be a very serious problem.

These days,many businesses won’t let you use the toilet without buying something,and when you’re absolutely busting,there just isn’t time to faff.

But we’ve just discovered there’s a little-known way to factor unexpected bathroom breaks into your travels around the city.

It turns out that TfL has a map showing all of the Tube stations that have toilets,and honestly,there are a lot more of them than we realised.

This is going to be a real game-changer for some,and people definitely aren’t talking about it enough.

So many places don’t have loos (Picture: Getty Images)

The toilets on the map are broken down into several categories:

Male/female/baby changing/accessible/changing places outside ticket gateline

Male/female/baby changing/accessible/changing places toilets inside ticket gateline 

Toilet not managed by Transport for London. You may be charged for these facilities.

It also shows that there are some toilets at TfL-managed bus stations,for those who prefer to hop on a bus instead of the Tube.

As you can see,most of the station toilets can be found outside of Zone 1,but there are a handful scattered about in central,in places such as Piccadilly Circus,Paddington,Green Park and a disabled loo at Tottenham Court Road.

While this map might be good news for those travelling by Tube,there is some bad news too…

That’s because Londoners are facing a hefty Tube fee increase in the new year,including peak journeys in Zone 1,which will be hit by some of the highest rises.

The cost of travelling on the London Underground is set to go up by up to 7.1% for some ticket types when the new fares kick in from March. It is part of the annual fee review,which has seen ticket prices rise above inflation in recent years.

The London Mayor,Sadiq Khan,has said the rise is a condition for TfL to get government funding for big capital projects following the spending review.

This year has also been a really tough one for commuters being plagued by annoying passengers.

From ‘bare beating’ to ‘double bagging’,we’ve seen people do all sorts on public transport in the city,and clearly,we’re all a bit sick of it.
