Leicester Forest East services on M1 southbound (not northbound)
These public toilets are amazing. The room is square with urinals on all four sides. But the walls go in and out (like crenellations laid down). So standing at a urinal in an indent, you have a wall on both sides and so can see nothing. Alternatively, standing at a urinal that is not in an indent, you are exposed more than normal cos there is nothing either side of you. A good place to desense. If you are driving northward, you will have to walk over to the southbound side. The northbound toilets are bog standard – how odd is that?
Re: Leicester Forest East services on M1 southbound
It's amazing how the quality can change at the same service station between the North and Southbound buildings isn't it! Recently I was travelling down the M1 from the North and stopped at Watford Gap southbound for the first time. I'd been to the Northbound side and the facilities there are reasonably well presented - concealed from view of the entrance and sinks although without dividers. Walked into the Southbound ones expecting the same and they're probably the worst I've ever seen them laid out at a services - a tiny room with about 15 urinals packed tightly together and the sinks right behind! You can only assume they've developed one side of the services since the 60s and not the other!
My favourite are at Corley and Keele, but I've heard London Gateway are good?
