Two Aberdeen city centre pub toilets crowned at Loo of the Year awards

The toilets in two popular Aberdeen city centre pubs have been crowned at the Loo of the Year Awards 2024.

Judges awarded platinum plus grading to the loos in the Archibald Simpson on Castle Street and The Justice Mill on Union Street.

The awards aim to spotlight and also improve the standards of "away from home" toilet provision nationwide.

Judges carry out surprise inspections at pubs across the UK, with the toilets awarded either a bronze, silver, gold, platinum, platinum plus or diamond rating.

Those that failed to meet the required standards don't receive a rating.

Judges score the toilets on a range of factors including design and upkeep, accessibility to drying facilities, cleanliness, and their overall management.

Justice Mill manager, Andrew Wallace, said: "We are delighted with the grading. Staff at the pub ensure the toilets are in excellent condition at all times and it is great that this has been recognised by the inspectors."

Loo of the Year Awards 2024 managing director, Becky Wall, said: "The toilets at the two pubs have been designed and fitted out to a very high standard and are both clean and well maintained. The pubs deserve their platinum plus awards."
