Text your way to the loo

Travelers and residents in London can provide some leeway for their bladders as a text messaging service that directs users to the closest public toilet is about to be launched. All it costs is a penny to send their location to an easily memorizable number and a prompt reply will be sent, providing clear and concise directions to the public toilet that is the closest in physical proximity as well as vital statistics like its opening hours and facilities. London is not the first city with this service as Shanghai had launched a similar restroom locator in May last year.
