As part of its Equity in Motion plan, Transport for has confirmed the first stations to receive free and accessible toilets.

Earlier this year, it was announced that £3m would be invested each year for five years to increase the number of accessible toilets on the network.

Transport for London wants to increase its toilet provision so that Underground, Overground and passengers are no more than 20 minutes away from a toilet (without changing trains).

For the first round of work, TfL has shortlisted the following stations:

  • Road Overground Station
  • Overground station
  • New Cross Gate station
  • South Tottenham London Overground station
  • White Hart Lane Overground station
  • Morden Underground station
  • Hammersmith Underground station

Additionally, Transport for London says that it will convert four existing non-accessible toilets at Amersham, Green Park, Sudbury Hill and Seven Sisters stations, improving availability to toilets that are misused or vandalised.

“Toilet provision is critical for many Londoners and visitors, and can even determine whether somebody travels on public transport at all. That’s why I’m planning to make the biggest ever investment to increase toilet provision across TfL services and boost accessibility. I’m pleased that the first round of my funding will enable toilet provision in new stations as well as upgrading current facilities – helping us to build a better, fairer London for everyone.”

The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan
