Are public toilets in Liverpool free, or do you have to pay?

Most council-run and park toilets are free. Some toilets at the main stations and a few seaside conveniences charge a small fee (typically 20-40p - "spend a penny"), often by card or contactless. Carry a little change or a contactless card just in case.

The Community Toilet Scheme

Liverpool runs a Community Toilet Scheme, where cafes, pubs and shops let the public use their toilets for free, without having to buy anything. Look for a "Toilet" or "Community Toilet Scheme" sticker in the window, or check the council's website for participating venues.
