Drinking Water Fountain, Woodford Avenue
Drinking Water Fountain, Woodford Avenue
A modern version of a very old idea, public fountains were once provided all over the place as a source of clean drinking water.
Their use declined in later years but now it looks like they are back, with the focus this time being the reduction of plastic bottle usage.
This one is part of a Mayor of London initiative to encourage you to refill and reuse for free rather than go and buy yet another bottle.
