Load bearing internal wall?

Hi all,
I've just moved into a 3 story place built in 1976. On the first floor is a toilet with an emersion heater cupboard ( now empty) next to it. A 4ft long block work wall separates the two spaces. This wall sits on floorboards and a joist - running directly under the wall in the same direction- and there is nothing under this in the kitchen below. On the second floor there is a block work wall above the 4ft wall, but it is dogleg shape so only 2ft of it is above it with the remaining 2ft being about 6 inches to the right of it. There is nothing in the loft above these walls.

Is it safe to remove it?

Thanks for reading.

Forgot to say that the second floor dogleg wall also sits on floorboards and a joist, i.e, any load from the second floor is separated from the 4ft wall by floorboards and a joist.

It really looks to me like a non-load bearing wall, but I'd really appreciate any advice.
