London Loo Tours
Not the Bog-Standard London Experience
Yes, you read that right! We are London's only walking tour company themed exclusively around the history of toilets and sanitation.
The Original London Loo Tour
Prepare to be immersed (metaphorically, that is!) in a world where the humble toilet becomes a portal to explore history, anthropology, art, architecture, identity, and of course, our sense of humour.
From the earliest latrines through to the future of flushing your guide will take you on a whirlwind tour through the history of Britain’s public toilets, with plenty of interesting sights and practical tips along the way. You’ll answer all the questions you never knew you had… How did the Romans wipe their bottoms? Was there really a man named Thomas Crapper? How long will you spend in the smallest room in a lifetime? And why do we even call it a loo?
It’s the perfect day out for anyone who likes to dive a bit deeper… lifelong Londoners and first time visitors alike! One thing is for sure: you may never think about a simple visit to the lavatory the same way again!

Special Event: The Thomas Crapper Tour 4th September, 2023
By special request, Rachel will be running the Thomas Crapper tour, a deep dive into the life and times of the most famous name in plumbing!
This tour travels around the Kensington and Chelsea area, exploring the streets where the great man himself lived and worked, unpicking facts from legends and learning about the lives of his contemporaries and the changing world that brought us the 'Bathroom' as we know it today!
