The London Fountain Co.

The London Fountain Co. has been devised by Jane Withers and Charles Asprey. It has been formed to bring beautiful drinking fountains back to the streets of London, using the power of good design to inspire change and provide the infrastructure to help London shift to a more sustainable drinking water culture.

The pilot drinking fountain, supported by South Kensington Estates, will be launched during London Design Festival September 2018.

Additional text

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.
