A bathroom is what you find in your house with a bathtub and toilet. A toilet is what you find in public places which is just a receptacle for the body's waste matter, usually with a supply of water for washing this away, and a sink. In British English toilet is generally acceptable but lavatory and WC (becoming old-fashioned except when talking about the plans of a house) are also used. Loo is a fairly common informal word. Public convenience is the formal expression for a specially built public lavatory, esp one in a public place. Quite generally in restaurants and other public places, the question is "Where is the ladies'?" or "Where is the gents'?" - the word "toilets" is understood but usually omitted.
Toilet-paper is paper for use in a toilet.
