Shhhh... Caffe Nero toilet facility loo codes

When working in London finding a free public toilet is not an easy task. Many of the public toilets have been closed down, and the ones that are still open often charge a fee to use them. This can be a problem for anyone who needs to use the toilet urgently or frequently, especially if you're a cabbie working long shifts.

Fortunately, there is a solution: loo codes. Loo codes are the numbers that you need to enter on a keypad to access the toilets in some cafes and restaurants, usually from big chains like Starbucks or Pret A Manger. These codes are meant to ensure that only customers can use the toilets, but they are not always well-guarded or changed regularly. That means you can use them without buying anything, as long as you know the code.

Here we'll list a the known codes to coffee chains, that you the reader can use and also update. If you find a new code let us know in the comments section and we'll update!
