The London Fountain Company presented a prototype for a new drinking water fountain designed by Michael Anastassiades, located in the Brompton Design District and at the V&A.

The first fountains were sited in the V&A’s John Madejski garden and in a public space in Brompton Design District at the initiative of South Kensington Estates. The London Fountain Co. was set up by Charles Asprey and curator Jane Withers to reduce disposable plastic bottle use by providing free drinking water. The legacy project aims to revive the drinking fountain culture that has largely disappeared from the city’s public spaces. Supported by The London Fountain Company and South Kensington Estates.
