Starting from "smell", coffee fragrance has been floating in abandoned public toilets for 50 years.

Can you imagine drinking coffee in a public toilet that has been abandoned for more than 50 years? This is not the latest trick, but two British London residents have rebuilt the "public toilet", which has been abandoned for nearly half a century, into a themed coffee shop. The idea of purifying the community environment with the smell of coffee is not only interesting, but also promotes London, injecting a dose of alternative thinking. In addition to updating the appearance of urban architecture, we can also start by changing the "smell" of the city. Public toilets, which have been abandoned for half a century, have now become fashion-themed cafes.

What now replaces the smell of urine is the fragrant aroma of coffee.

The transformed toilet-themed cafe retains the flavor of Victorian historic buildings in the last century. In addition to the iron carved arches that refresh the appearance and the ceramic wall tiles inside, the men's urinals in the 1990s have also been converted into cubicles for seats. it has become a unique space sculpture decoration. As the cafe is located in the high-end residential area of London, it used to be seen as a source of damage to the community landscape, but now the smell of coffee from the ground has also washed the air and environment of the whole community. It has become an alternative masterpiece of "smell more" ("du more" means urban renewal).

As a matter of fact, there are a large number of abandoned Victorian public toilets like this on the streets of the United Kingdom. as they are located in the basement and have been idle for more than 50 years, they have become garbage dumps and homes for the homeless, smelly and dirty, and have become a cancer that destroys the community landscape; however, because of their great historical significance, renovation and renovation are extremely difficult, so they have always been a hot potato in London. Therefore, this creative toilet coffee shop not only earns a superior location and cheap rent, but also solves a difficult problem of urban transformation for the city government of London.
