John Le Carre & the old FCC HK Urinals…

Posted: July 11th, 2023 | No Comments »

Re my longread (here) in the South China Morning Post weekend mag on John Le Carre, his visits to HK in the 70s & the resultant novel The Honourable Schoolboy. There are of course a number of memorable scenes set in the old FCC including the gents urinals. A view to the harbour immortalised here…

I realise many of you (for reasons of being not in Hong Kong, or women) may not be familiar with the gents toilets at the FCC on Lower Albert Road & so will not have seen the long installed photo of the view from the old Sutherland House FCC (long demolished) on Chater Road.

Don’t say i never give you any bonus content!!
