The Lord Clifden - Hockley

Kind of similar to the Fighting Cocks, really. Although inversely proportional: teeny tiny little pub, big loos. So, this is what the Fighting Cocks loos should be like:







Loads of room! Stylish and simple. Sorry about the flash - toilets have this pesky habit of having mirrors in them ...

The piece de resistance: Dyson hand-driers:




The sign of a classy, modern bathroom. Not for the faint-hearted though; they make a slightly terrifying sound and I was, at first, worried that I was never going to get my hands back ... 

Decor: 8/10
- Nice clean, modern and with a good amount of wood; of which I am a fan. Little bit dull - but then people don't expect folk to spend hours in the blinking loos, really. (They don't know me...)

Cleanliness: 10/10
- Spotless. Not a single bit of loo roll out of place.

Ambience: 7/10
- Nice. Restful. Space. Lots of wood - bit like a Scandinavian spa ... 

Lighting: 8/10
- All good. The spotlights look nice and warm with the wood. Again, could do with a bit more lighting near the mirror (see Fighting Cocks)

Stay and play?: 8/10
- Yeah pretty good. I can imagine diving into this Scandinavian spa haven to have a surreptitious chin-wag with a girl friend, and quite happily spending a while ... 

Recommendations:
- Tell the Fighting Cocks about the use of space for toilets. Then let them tell you about fun stuff like big F-off gilt mirrors. Together you can conquer the world of toilets. 
- Put a health warning on the hand-drier, for people of nervous disposition.
