Are there toilets in Westminster Cathedral?

Yes, there are toilets and accessible toilets. Is Westminster Cathedral baby friendly? No, there are no baby changing facilities.



Yes, there are public toilets available for visitors and worshippers at Westminster Cathedral (the seat of the Catholic Church in England and Wales). They are typically located in the basement area or near the cathedral's café and shop, accessible via stairs or a lift. It is important to distinguish this from Westminster Abbey (the Anglican church nearby), which also has toilets located in the Cloisters. In 2026, most major London cathedrals provide these basic amenities to accommodate the high volume of tourists and pilgrims, though they may have limited operating hours that coincide with the cathedral's public opening times (usually 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM). While the toilets are generally free to use for those visiting the church, a small voluntary donation to the cathedral's maintenance fund is always appreciated to help keep these historic facilities clean and operational for the public.
