Words that come to mind when thinking of London: quirky, red phone booths, strong accents, fish and chips, the phrase 'bloody hell', the cast of Harry Potter....and...o ya, and toilets.

Located on one of London's most popular sight-seeing routes is a brand new public toilet; a 'john' that is both art exhibit and creepy rectangular container.

Staying true to it's name, "Don't Miss A Sec," the exhibit uses unique one-way mirrored glass to allow the user a full view out to take in the sights and catch every beat of uptown London.  "I think there'd be a twinge of not believing that people outside couldn't see you," said Jeff Boloten, British employee.

Many question Italian-born artist Monica Bonvicini's work, including Boloten, saying that "Playing with the idea of the most private bodily function and having to sit on a street corner is just bizarre."

How about that "Loo with a view?"

Would you use this somewhat 'see-through' toilet? Do you see it as true art?
