A selection of the best toilets I have found and filmed this year Seafront toilets of the year Viking Bay, Broadstairs, Kent (Isle of Thanet Council), HL Dauntless, Dudley & Shires and Ceramic Urinals. Classic seafront toilets right on the beach from the 1930s painted in blue. One chain even had the classic ring pull. Couldn't ask for more! Runner up Margate, Kent (Isle of Thanet Council), HL Dudleys & Dauntless feat early disabled toilet. Classic seafront toilets from the 1930s right on the promenade with high ceilings and very edgy!

Runner up Great Portland Street, London HL Shires Local toilets of the year Broadstone Cemetery, Broadstone, Poole, Dorset (Poole Cemeteries) , HL Shires Lynx wooden building from the early 20th century with very basic features (No light or sink) yet the colour and the sheer feel of the place makes it my favourite local toilet found this year ahead of the other two cemetery toilets in Poole.
