Times: London public toilet sells for £403,000
Amid cries of negative equity and stalling property sales, a public lavatory in South West London has triumped in the face of adversity and sold for almost four times its asking price.
Walham Green Toilets on North End Road, Fulham went for an astounding £403,000 at auction on Monday after a competitive bidding war pushed its asking price through the roof.
The two-storey toilet block was initially advertised in the Bricks & Mortar section of The Times last week with a guide price of £90,000. This was however elevated to £130,000 by the estate agents, Savills, prior to the auction.

Talk about flushing your money down the toilet

Sounds like a special situation to me! - There was a toilet in the city in Ledenhall market which was converted into a very upmarket Italian. Realy goes to show that the value of something is what someone is willing to pay. Story doesnt really tell you anything... what permission does it have for instance.

The proportion of morons amongst property developers is greater than in any other profession. The last 10 years is just proof of it.
