I want to instal lighting in my bathroom combined with an extractor fan. I want 2 switches - 1 for over mirror lights and 1 for ceiling lights with fan. I don't want 2 pull switches - does a 2 pull pull switch exist?
Bathroom Pull switch with 2 clicks.

This is about all I could find - I think the term is double throw switch - I haven't seen one in a pull switch version.

You would have to fit it ouside the bathroom.
Alternatively get a mirror light with a pull switch incorporated and a seperate pull switch for your main light and fan.

The problem with a switch like that is that one would have to choose between the ceiling light/fan and the mirror light - it would not be possible to have both on at once. In any event. if a non-pull switch were being installed outside of the bathroom, one might as well just use a cheap and cheerful two gang switch. I don't think there's really anything even close to what the op would like to have.
Kind Regards, John.
What exactly does he want?

Good question. The only thing I could think of was that he was thinking of a pull switch with sequential functionality, something like:
- starting with 'all off':
first pull - A on
second pull - A&B on
third pull - B on
fourth pull - all off
Kind Regards, John
Sometime after I posted, a thought popped into my head.
Maybe he means a 2G pull switch.
Maybe he means a 2G pull switch.
That was also my first thought, but I dismissed it because he said "I want 2 switches, I don't want 2 pull switches" - but you may well be right.
I also considered the possibility that he wanted a DP pull switch, so that both circulits could be simultaneously controlled with the same pull cord - but "I want two switches" seemed to kill that idea, too.
I think the op needs to tell us the answer!
Kind Regards, John.
I read it as a single fitting but with 2 cords - like BAS's 2G pull switch interpretation.
Is there an emerging market for your home-made square pull-cord switches here BAS?
I await pics of the prototype 2G version

I await pics of the prototype 2G version Yes, that's also possible....
If you're right about what is wanted, that might be the only solution! I suppose that, to get even more sophisticated it might be possible to canabalise two pull switches and mount their guts behind a double blank plate, with the two cords emerging through holes in the plate.Is there an emerging market for your home-made square pull-cord switches here BAS?

I'll need to find my box of old Meccano in the loft first...I await pics of the prototype 2G version
But seriously.
Do you need pull switches at all?
Which Zone would the switches be in if they were on the wall?
Are you re-decorating? Have you thought about proximity switches concealed behind tiles?

Pull Chain Switch
Philmore 30-9158
Also a Westinghouse version exists.
Google for 3 way pull switch. ( which is a misnomer as it is a two way sequencing switch )

Well found! Just what I described (apart from one slight difference in sequence), but I didn't really believe that we'd find one!

This type of pull switch is still employed in those combination heat/light units to provide for heat only, light only, heat & light, and off. Like this one:

Some types of pull switch for 3-speed ceiling fan control could also be used with the right connections, although some would not be usable directly, providing an output on only one of three terminals in each running position (you could use a DPST relay on one position to provide the "both" function though).

JohnW2 you have the right idea. We are looking for a pull switch that will provide control over 2 banks of lights.
starting with 'all off':
first pull - A on
second pull - A&B on
third pull - B on
fourth pull - all off
If nothing exists we will use a standard pull for main lights and small wall light type pull switch for mirror lights. Many thanks
