Two pub toilets in Aberdeen have been crowned Loo of the Year Awards 2024.
Archibald Simpson on Castle Street and The Justice Mill on Union Street have each received a platinum plus grading from judges.
These awards are intended to spotlight and improve standards of “away from home” toilet provision across the UK.
The judges conducted surprise inspections across the UK, including in Aberdeen, and awarded them bronze, silver, gold, platinum, platinum plus, or diamond ratings, with those that failed to meet standards not receiving a rating at all.
The facilities were judged on various factors, such as design and upkeep, cleanliness, accessibility to handwashing and drying facilities, and 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.”
