One of many such troughs in this style around London, bearing the inscription (on the other side of this one) of the Metropolitan Drinking Fountain and Cattle Trough Association. Given the number of horse riders in the Royal Park, this may be one of the few that is still used as a trough. Certainly it is kept topped up, and there is a fairly modern steel tap at the far end for humans to drink from.
