TOILETS near Deptford Station are certainly not bog-standard, according to commuters, whose comments have left Lewisham Council flushed with success.
The top-notch toilet facilities are praised in a new report by the London Transport Users Committee which surveys toilet provision at London's interchanges.
An average person spends three years of their life on the toilet and the committee believes decent public toilets are indispensable to ordinary living.
Chairman of the London Regional Passengers' Committee Eric Midwinter said: "It requires a perpetual campaign to remind the public and commercial providers of services, that without a regular, and not unpleasant opportunity to rid ourselves of our daily 1.5 pounds of unwanted matter, the mobility upon which modern civilisation rests is threatened.
"A range of decent public convenience provision is indispensable to ordinary living."
