You may find some relief knowing that these Wetherspoon pubs have been awarded platinum ratings.

Three Wetherspoon pubs around Rickmansworth and Watford may be the best place for a toilet break as they have been awarded the 2019 Loo of the Year Awards.

The Moon Under Water and The Colombia Press which can both be found in High Street, Watford, as well as The Pennsylvanian in High Street, Rickmansworth, have been awarded a platinum rating after being overseen by inspectors.

Unannounced inspections took place to thousands of Wetherspoon toilets across the UK to judge where’s the best place to visit the loo while enjoying a drink.

The criteria included the décor of the site, how well maintained and clean it is, the accessibility, and the overall management of the facilities. After each inspection, toilets are graded with silver, gold, platinum or diamond rankings while unacceptable toilets are given no grade.

At the Moon Under Water, the toilets have a basic rectangular design with white tiled walls and well-maintained facilities.

Kwame Tefe, manager of The Moon Under Water, commented about the success of his pub: “We are delighted with the award. Staff at the pub ensure the toilets are in first-class conditions at all times and it is great that this has been recognised by the inspectors.”

The Pennsylvanian contrastingly has a red and white colour palette with stylish printed images on the walls as well as white tiles.

“The pubs richly deserve their platinum awards.”
