About the Author
Luke Barclay is a writer based in London. He studied History at the University of Sheffield before spending two years in rural Japan, teaching English and writing for a magazine. After returning to the UK he joined the BBC and spent four years working in factual programme making, in the history and documentary departments. He first encountered a 'loo with a view' on a family holiday to Cornwall, many years ago. His search for the world's best placed toilets has included an around-the-world loo-hunting trip with a camera. This is his first book.
From the Back Cover
The toilet it s small, functional and using it often involves staring at the back of a door. But it doesn t have to be this way.
It s possible to sit in the open air enjoying sweeping vistas of the world s most beautiful mountains. It s possible to stand at a urinal and see an entire city laid out beneath you. It s possible to sight-see, bird-watch, train-spot and in some stadiums even watch live international sport from the loo.
We spend three years of our lives in the toilet. We should make the most of it. From Waterloo to Honolulu, this is a collection of the world s most spectacular, intriguing and thought-provoking loos with views a magic carpet ride around the world, as seen from the toilet. It is the ultimate good loo guide.
Luke Barclay worked for the BBC documentary department before beginning his hunt for the world s best-placed toilets.
