What do British call restrooms?
In Britain, loo and WC (water closet) are the most common terms for a restroom. While slang terms like bogs or khazi exist, bathroom refers to a room with a bath, and restroom is rarely used.
Okay, so, you’re wondering what Brits call restrooms, huh? It’s definitely not “restroom,” that’s for sure! I remember that awkward moment when I was in London, desperately needing to go, and asking for the “restroom” – blank stares. It was mortifying! Learned my lesson there. They mostly say “loo,” which, I have to admit, sounds kinda cute, right? Or “WC,” which is short for “water closet,” a bit more formal, I guess. You see those little signs sometimes.
Then there’s the slang… oh, the slang. Things like “bogs” and “khazi,” which you might hear, but maybe not in polite company, you know? It’s like how we might say “john” or something back home. And don’t even think about saying “bathroom” unless you’re actually looking for a bath! Because in Britain, a bathroom has a bath… makes sense, doesn’t it? But it can throw you off if you’re not expecting it. So, yeah, stick to “loo” – you can’t go wrong with “loo.” It’s just… easier. Trust me. I’ve been there. Literally. In a loo in London, wondering why I didn’t just ask for the “loo” in the first place!
