The soul of the most luxurious cafe on "shit" asked: help! Why are you drinking coffee in the toilet?

The British have a strong taste.

Why would you say that?

Because they will be drinking coffee in the toilet! It's true!

Recently, a plan to renovate a cafe in Beston, at the junction of Queens Road and Station Road in London, has been submitted to the borough of Brockto. The plan points out that the site will provide services to local businesses, tourists and locals.

It is understood that the vacant property is located on the busiest main road in London. it was formerly a public toilet and the back cup was converted into a beauty salon, and plans for a cafe followed after the beauty salon closed.

In fact, as early as 2013, there was news that abandoned public toilets in London had been transformed into cafes. On London's Foley and Great Titchfield streets, there is an underground public men's toilet built in the 1890s, accessible through a cage entrance in the middle of the sidewalk. Although the toilet was used until the 69s of the 20th century, it has been idle since then.

In order to make full use of its space, the toilet was resold to many people and eventually became a small cafe. It is understood that the renovation time took about 8 months, and the cafe did a lot of decoration work on the stairwell and the interior of the toilet. Let's take a look at the comparison.

And this is not the first time London public toilets have been converted into other uses, and the converted space is not just restaurants and bars. In 2013, architect Laura Clark transformed a dilapidated underground public toilet at the Crystal Palace Parade (Crystal Palace Parade) into an amazing and surprisingly cozy apartment. And examples like this abound.

In the UK, Victorian toilets have been abandoned for a long time, and in the last decade a strange trend has swept London, making these "historical relics" the most fashionable meeting places.

Do you think the "reuse of space" like this only happens abroad? How is it possible that China is so big that what won't happen?

Are there any students from Zhejiang in front of the screen? Do you know the Great Buddha Temple in Xinchang? It doesn't matter if I don't know. According to Baidu Encyclopedia, the Great Buddha Temple was built in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The temple is characterized by grotto statues, with a large scale and a long history. But these are not the point, the point is that there is a cafe converted from a public toilet in the temple.

Coincidentally, there is a cafe-PH CENTER, which is built on the second floor of the public toilet in the scenic area on the edge of the West Lake. It is understood that this is an intelligent 24-hour public toilet. The main color of the public toilet building is white, the interior of the toilet is fully automated, even the hand dryer is Dyson's, and there are valuable potted plants at the door, a whole uppercase advanced.

The cafe is located on the second floor of the public toilet. there is a large open-air balcony outdoors which is very suitable for rest and the interior is in industrial style. Netizens jokingly call it the most luxurious cafe on "shit". Maybe you can go upstairs and order a cup of coffee while waiting for your friends to go to the bathroom?

Although these buildings used to be synonymous with "unclean", it is fortunate that abandoned toilets have been innovated to a certain extent, both at home and abroad. Perhaps these are restaurants out of cost compromise, but if you think about it, isn't the restaurant transformed from the toilet itself a big selling point?
