Mayor unveils plans for gender neutral public toilets in London
by Pippa Crerar, London Evening Standard:
Plans for scores more gender neutral toilets across London to help trans and non-binary people feel more comfortable were revealed today.
Sadiq Khan will, for the first time, issue detailed policy guidance on new, free, publicly accessible loos in commercial developments.
In his London Plan – the capital’s planning strategy – tomorrow he will call on developers to provide more gender neutral facilities in public places like shopping centres, leisure centres and cinemas to reflect the capital’s diversity.
The Mayor envisages more unisex toilets, like those in Starbucks, with individual cubicles that can be used by either gender, disabled people as well as parents with babies.
City Hall aides said the toilets should be well designed so that users of all genders feel safe and comfortable, with full-length doors and partitions, clear layout and good lighting.
