Urinal
Behind the door with a picture of Louis Armstrong on the toilet, the pub’s urinal is hidden. If you don’t usually visit men’s toilets, this is your chance to see a genuine standing urinal. But knock first — just in case!

Keeping it under control
In the nineteenth century, public urinals were installed to prevent men in large cities from urinating in streets and alleys. Some of the first urinals in Denmark were introduced in Copenhagen in the 1850s. Over time, they became water-flushed and were installed indoors in railway stations, schools and, as here, in pubs.
