TrainPal's Travel Expert Experience
"The main toilet facilities at Victoria station are some of the capital’s busiest, and you’ll often find long queues up the stairs. But luckily, there are alternatives within the station building. Avoid a lengthy wait and head to the loos on the other side of the station near the Hudson’s Place entrance by platforms 1 and 2. More toilets, including baby changing and disabled facilities, are in the Food Terrace of Victoria Place shopping centre above the main concourse. It also serves as a quieter spot to wait for your train."

TrainPal's Travel Expert Experience
"Visiting Luton: Luton's attractions are more spread out than you might first expect, so it's well worth planning your route rather than trying to walk everywhere and seeing what happens. Wardown Park is around a mile from the railway station, making it a pleasant walk when the weather is good. Stockwood Discovery Centre is further out, so for that one, consider taking a taxi or checking local bus routes. Both museums do offer free admission, making them excellent options for an affordable day out."
