An Eggs-traordinary Toilet

If you want a toilet experience that's out of this world, you must visit Sketch.  It's a gallery, restaurant and bar located on Conduit Street in London's West End.  But the best part about it is the loo!  To get there, you walk through the restaurant, into a spaceship-like zone.  You then walk up the stairs- ladies go right, guided by the pink lights, gents go left, guided by the blue (obviously).  

Once you get to the top, you feel like you've arrived on another planet.  The cubicles are egg shaped pods to which you enter at your peril!  As you sit on the loo, you're greeted with strange noises, to enrich your err, sensory experience.  I've come across the tinkle of cattle, baa-ing sheep, coughing fits and hysterical laughter.  It's all very surreal and you emerge out of your egg, like a little chick.  

It's not to everyone's taste- I know some people who couldn't get out of their pods quick enough.  But as far as I'm concerned, anywhere that makes a trip to the toilet exciting is pretty impressive!

And I thought Hello Magazine was the only way to make a trip to the john exciting.

Looks so other worldly, the first time you went must have been incredible/ very scary

If Science fiction did toilets...
