Britain's 'smallest hotel' has opened in a former Victorian lavatory beneath a bustling road. The Netty, nestled underneath St Giles in Oxford, has gone through an extraordinary 17-year makeover.
The boutique establishment boasts just two suites, each measuring 30 square metres, accessible through their own separate street-level entrance. The Netty's distinctive concept aims to provide visitors with 'an immersive experience that reflects the unique location and storied history of the space'.
The gents' conveniences were initially constructed in 1895. They were shuttered in 2008 due to safety worries.

Oxford entrepreneur Gwyn Harries-Jones purchased the location, but various development schemes failed to materialise and it remained vacant for 11 years before hotel construction commenced.
The establishment, christened after an old Geordie word for a privy, has incorporated local artistry and cultural elements while preserving several original characteristics, including the floor tiles.
Hotel manager Ana Pinheiro said: "We are delighted to welcome guests to our boutique space, where they can experience the beauty of Oxford."
