This seems an odd spot to find a drinking fountain, on the grass between Riddlesdown Road and Coombes Wood. Nevertheless it appears to be in working order. The plaque shows that it was provided by the Metropolitan Drinking Fountain and Cattle Trough Association and no doubt its presence here is a consequence of the land being owned and managed by the City of London Corporation.
