In one of the most memorable scenes, Orton goes "cottaging" at a public lavatory in Bermondsey. The men's loo is located under a traffic island in Bermondsey Square, at the junction of Tower Bridge Road. Before the orgy, Orton goes for a silent piss, while men all around him shoot not-so-subtle glances at one another. Then, wordlessly, he gets a leg-up from a stranger and unscrews a lightbulb. Cue orgy. The location doesn't have the same illicit underworld vibe today. In fact, the since spruced-up lavatory is now the Bermondsey Arts Club Cocktail Bar.
