Disused public loo in Kentish Town could become a cocktail bar

A vodka entrepreneur has put forward plans to transform old public lavatories in north London into an underground cocktail bar.

William Borrell, whose Vestal Vodka is stocked at Harvey Nichols and The Groucho Club, wants to turn disused facilities in Kentish Town into a bar called Ladies and Gentlemen.

But the 35-year-old, above, has been met with the disapproval of residents who insist the site should keep its original use. “We just don’t use public toilets now like we used to,” Mr Borrell said.

Camden council will decide on the application later this month.
