Here comes "SatLav" - A Toilet Locator Service in London, UK

Remember "SatNav" - a service to help lost drivers. Here comes "SatLav". Reuters is reporting that city of Westminister (London, UK) has launched a new mobile phone text message service which will guide londoners and tourists to the nearest public lavatory. Not mentioned here is the mapping tool which might be used to guide you to the nearest lavatory. More than likely this will show up on Google Maps Mobile.

Text TOILET to 80097 to locate your nearest public toilet.

Out all day Christmas shopping in the West End? Heading home after one too many festive drinks? Children desperate for the toilet?

We’ve all been caught short out and about. But in Westminster you don’t have to be any more.

Every year 10,000 gallons of urine is at risk of ending up in the city’s streets and alleyways through irresponsible and anti-social behaviour.

We’ve launched an innovative new service so that you can locate your nearest public convenience in Westminster 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Just text the word "toilet" to 80097 and you will be texted back with the location and opening hours of your nearest public toilet.
