portaloo

Event restroom unit

A portaloo is a portable toilet, typically a self-contained plastic unit found at outdoor events, construction sites, and festivals.

The word is British, formed from "portable" and "loo." Americans more often say porta-potty or port-a-john.

The queue for the portaloo stretched halfway across the field.
