New zip code for London: WC2


It's a pop-up revo-loo-tion. From today drunken revellers in London's West End will be able to spend a penny in new open-air public urinals that rise from the streets just as the evening's drinking sessions begin.

The first of the two-metre high, stainless steel telescopic toilets goes live today in Villiers Street, near Embankment tube station - an area that local councillors believe is a notorious "wet spot".
