The £500,000 lavatory sale

A formerpublic lavatory is on the market for nearly half a million pounds.

The run-down Shepherd's Bush Road site is being sold by Hammersmith and Fulham council for possible development as flats, offices or shops.

Agents Frost and Partners say the lavatories, shut 20 years ago, have already attracted interest. "It just shows the value of London land," said director Justin Clack.
