" In left hand drive countries, revolving doors should revolve clockwise but
not always"

I don't think I've ever used a revolving door which went clockwise, in any
country...

I came across one last year and realised that I'd probably never seen one
before. It is the external entrance to a restaurant called 'The Tavern' in
Phipps Plaza shopping mall in Atlanta, Georgia. There is a large sign
indicating that the door revolves the 'wrong' way, but about 50% of
customers push it in the conventional direction -- which it does allow, but
the brass bars for you to push clearly show that it is meant to go
clockwise.

There is also a sign saying that it was originally located elsewhere -- New
York City, I think.

I couldn't find a picture, but there is a reference to it on this page:

Small ones in Britain, yes.

On Monday, entering the National Archives, Kew which has a very large
diameter revolving door (counter-clockwise) [their book shop had
bargain books, some on transport] I thought that the last such door I
went through was clockwise.

Can anyone confirm this for the:

Radisson Edwardian International Plaza Hotel
Heathrow 140 Bath Road,
Hayes

City Hall has a pair of revolving doors; one revolves clockwise, the
other anticlockwise.
