Gentlemen's public convenience, Bow Road, Bromley-By-Bow E3 - Tower Hamlets
Underground gentlemen's public convenience, constructed by the Board of Works and opened in 1899. There are curved entrance steps designed to fit around the statue of WE Gladstone. The decorative interior finish includes russet marble urinals. The public convenience has been disused for many years and the decorative iron gates have been damaged. The interior is also subject to vandalism. Additional damage to the plinth and railings was caused by a vehicle in Nov 2022. The Local Authority is investigating options for the site.
