That was one the earlist Public Toilets (Male Only!) in HK in underground. It is located in the Queen’s Road Central and Wellington Street. :|

The following photo is the same place in 1962. You can see that Public Toilet at the bottom left:

Is this the only underground WC in HK?

 

[Skybean]

There should be a few more, but with locked doors...

I thought they shut down many of these things ...certainly a rareity nowadays.

HK has THREE underground public toilets. The one in this thread is the ONLY underground public toilet which is still in use today and it has a history of over 100 years. I knew another one which is closed now is on the Police HQ on Old Bailey Street, which is between the Old Victoria Prison and SOHO (South Of Hollywood ROad). I don't know where was the third one. :|
