Is it safe to drink from them?

Fountain water is the same supply as the tap, so the answer is whatever the answer is for London's tap water. That is a question with published figures behind it rather than an opinion.

Fountain locations come from OpenStreetMap contributors, refreshed 1 September 2026. A fountain that is mapped is not guaranteed to be running: they are turned off for repairs, and in some cities over winter.
