You asked
Can you please supply me a list all the toilet facilities that TFL allow access to for London Licensed Taxi Drivers to use.
We answered
TfL Ref : 0630 - 21/22
Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 28 June 2021 asking for information about toilet facilities that TFL allow access to for London Licensed Taxi Drivers.
Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act and our information access policy. I can confirm we do hold the information you require.
A list of public toilets which Taxi drivers can use is available on our website using the following link: www.tfl.gov.uk/help-and-contact/public-toilets-in-london. Taxi drivers can also access the TfL toilets which are listed at the bottom of the page.
In accordance with section 21 of the FOI Act, we are not obliged to supply you with a copy of the requested information as it is already accessible to you elsewhere.
Several years ago we provided access for taxi drivers to additional toilet facilities at two central London Underground stations - Oxford Circus and Warwick Avenue. A subsequent trial took place between February and May 2019 at four Tube stations (Leicester Square, Baker Street, Oxford Circus and Victoria) where rest ranks were situated nearby. Both trials were promoted widely amongst the taxi trade but the facilities were not used, so the trial was concluded.
If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable to access it for some reason, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal as well as information on copyright and what to do if you would like to re-use any of the information we have disclosed.
Yours sincerely
Sara Thomas FOI Case Management Team General Counsel Transport for London
