Unless a client specifically requested a rear galley I would never normally recommend this option.
Several disadvantages associated with rear galleys have been highlighted above and with which I concur.
A forward galley/cabin crew station permits:
* Increased rear cabin privacy
* Improved crew communications through advantageous cockpit-galley proximity
* Improved convenience for last-minute catering deliveries
* Strategic positioning for supporting pax embarkation and disembarkation
Additionally, always incorporate front and rear lavatories when ordering a new aircraft so that the crew don't need to traipse through the cabin to relieve themselves.
