I spent a month in England last year and I'd have to say one icon is the bathroom that was added to the house/hotel/pub/inn/B&B as if they forgot until the last minute and then converted a closet to that function. With only one exception all the bathrooms I experienced, for all functions of those rooms, were inadequate, small and inconvenient.

It's as if the architects all forgot to include a proper bathroom in the original design. In the very old buildings I can understand it but we found the same problem in newer places too.
