Dropping the news on World Toilet Day (Tuesday, 19 November), the council said the money would fund a series of inclusive facilities that demonstrate high-quality design.The project is already on a roll more than half of the cash (6.5 million) has already been pumped into West End toilet upgrades, managed and coordinated by the council's infrastructure partner FM Conway. A further 6.2 million will follow in the next financial year.Loos at Victoria Embankment, Parliament Street, Piccadilly Circus and Green Park will be revamped between now and 2025, while Carnaby Street, Westminster Pier, Covent Garden and Leicester Square are gearing up to be flushed out and overhauled the following year.AdvertisementHugh Broughton Architects was commissioned for the project alongside toilet management company Healthmatic and the Contemporary Arts Society. The council said they were all chosen to assist in the complexities of working with ageing and listed infrastructure.It added that it wanted the revamped toilets to enshrine as much civic pride as the Victorians displayed when they first started looking at a proper sanitation system for the general public in the 19th century.The same material palette will be used throughout the modernised facilities, alongside playful patterned motifs designed by artist James Lambert to respond to each local area.The first project to open will be the toilets on Victoria Embankment, where Lamberts artwork has been inspired by the work of Joseph Bazalgette, the Victorian engineer who masterminded the construction of Londons sewers, and George John Vulliamy, the superintending architect to the Metropolitan Board of Works.The second site to be refurbished is one of Westminsters busiest public toilets, sitting beneath Parliament Street and linking via an underpass to Westminster underground station.AdvertisementThe third is in the Grade II-Listed underground station at Piccadilly Circus.Practice founder Hugh Broughton said: The project demonstrates Westminsters commitment to their public realm. It will create high-quality public conveniences in some of the most significant sites in central London.While our designs deliver consistency, James Lamberts engaging art will give each its own character, aligned to local context. The design will also reduce water use and ensure a low energy solution which matches Westminsters commitment to the environment.'Westminsters cabinet member for city management Paul Dimoldenberg added: Were delighted to have chosen James Lambert to not only beautify our public spaces but also to create a visual story that resonates with everyone who visits and lives in our city we hope the artwork, which will tell a story of Westminsters diversity and vibrancy, will capture the publics imagination.
