TWO Wetherspoon pubs in Hillingdon have been acclaimed for the quality and standards of their toilets in the Loo of the Year Awards.

The Botwell Inn in Coldharbour Lane, Hayes and JJ Moons in Victoria Road, Ruislip Manor, have each been given a platinum grading by inspectors.

The awards are aimed at highlighting and improving standards of 'away from home' toilets across the UK.

Inspectors made unannounced visits to thousands of sites across the UK, to judge them.

They are graded against décor and maintenance, cleanliness, accessibility, hand washing and drying equipment and overall management.

Botwell Inn manager Sean O'Farrell said: "Staff ensure the toilets are in excellent condition at all times.”
