Bar 38 has won other prizes for its toilets

In addition, there is a communal section where two semi-circular sofas provide seating for eight customers - who may take their drinks with them into the loo.

Bar 38 also came top in the Poshest Loo category of the Charmin' Ultimate Loo Awards.

A spokesman said everyone at the bar was delighted at the award - the second such prize in nine months.

"When we first opened it was a big talking point and hopefully this award will renew interest," he said.

"Our toilet is like a social area - a room that is part of the whole bar.

"It's like a meeting point for guys and girls," the spokesman added.

The award is due to be presented on Saturday night during a ceremony at the Savoy Hotel.

Winners from 500 entrants will also receive awards in the cleanest, comfiest and weird and wonderful categories.
