London, Aberdeen and Cardiff were the four loo-sing cities for toilet facilities, with more than 7,300 people per public toilet.

Sian Baker, Head of Wellbeing Services and Registered Nutritional Therapist at Check My Body Health said: “It’s brilliant to see some smaller, often overlooked cities such as St Davids, Chichester and Wells making it into the top ten, as well as some more popular city destinations such as Newcastle upon Tyne and Manchester.

"However, with some cities seeing the equivalent of thousands of people per public toilet, there is definitely plenty of room to improve our access to these facilities."
