OTOH last time I was in St.Pancras there was a guy collecting the fees to use the washroom and keeping things tidied up. People in the US would be outraged to pay for using a bathroom under those circumstances.

Japan can be even worse. I’ve seen it at hotel seven when you’re eating at the hotel restaurant.

The toilets at St Pancras are free and always have been. He was just some random guy you gave money to!

Maybe was another a London station. Recall there being a turnstile.

King’s Cross is right next door and had turnstiles last time I was there.
