Are there any legal requirements for the provision of adequate toilet
facilities for visitors to public buildings in England?

IANAL.
AIUI the Catering Act ..1949 ? requires anywhere that sells food and drink
to provide toilet facilities. That's why there is always toilet facilities
in shop that has a cafe. Would have thought it applied to public buildings
as well. I expect this Act has been updated by subsequent legislation,
perhaps someone can advise.

Clearly, though, there were substantial loopholes -- I've been in a few
technically-a-sandwich-bar places in London which have had substantial
arrangements for on-site consumption, but no loo.

There's presumably some "get out of loo free" card if you technically
sell the food for off-site consumption.
