How to find water fountains in London
A network of more than 100 drinking water fountains has been installed across busy areas of London, as part of a partnership between the Mayor of London and Thames Water.
Can I get water from a pub or restaurant?
All licensed premises authorised to serve alcohol, including pubs, bars, nightclubs, cafes and restaurants, must by law provide free drinking water, even if you are not a paying customer.
Non-licensed premises (ones that can't serve alcohol) are not obligated to provide free water, but the Mayor of London is encouraging these businesses to offer free water refills and drinking fountains as part of the Refill London scheme.
Carry a water bottle
Carry a refillable water bottle with you to save money and help the environment by reducing plastic waste. Fill up at existing water fountains, any licensed premises or your own tap.
