: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolving_door " 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: http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/75d9a/baf6f/2/. Peter -- Peter Campbell Smith ~ London ~ pjcs00 (a) gmail.com |

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 Middlesex UB3 5AW -- Mike D |

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