One clue though is that if you look at new builds, There is always 2 doors between kitchen and the Bog.

Even in the open plan living layouts that are in vogue?

I think you will find that current regulations and local building control are a bit more relaxed about it and people are more hygiene savvy these days. Never understood how having a lobby between the two rooms made any difference to whether someone washed their hands anyway.

They are much more concerned nowadays with fire and smoke risks and proximity of kitchens and other heat sources to other living spaces and stairways etc.
