Keel M. Posted May 31, 2016 #1 Share Posted May 31, 2016 This is about the craziest thing I've ever read. Quote William Borrell walked by the same the abandoned public toilet at a junction in the north London neighborhood of Kentish Town nearly every day and wondered what was in there. A vodka distiller and local bar owner, Borrell was in the market for an office space. “So I rang the council every day for six months until they finally said, ‘Enough is enough, let the guy in, let him look at the toilet,’” he says. This particular toilet, of late Victorian or Edwardian vintage, had been left to founder for 25 or 30 years, he says, but “it was in incredible condition.” Incredible enough that he scrapped his plans to use the underground loo as an office and instead set his sights on opening a bar. Ladies & Gentlemen opened in January 2015 and has routinely made London top-10 lists since. Full story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
