Battersea Park Drinking Fountain?
![[Deleted User]](https://w6.vanillicon.com/609108a1c19159a4d547226a4cc51d59_100.png)
Hi everyone,
My long weekend run takes in a circuit of the lovely Battersea park at around the mid-point, but I've yet to find a drinking fountain there. I don't particularly like carrying drinking bottles, a d could really do with finding somewhere to take on some water before pressing on. I've asked runners the last couple of times I've been but without luck. Does anyone know if there is one and where I might find it?
Taa!

I've had this problem in Battersea Park before (in fact, pretty much all of London's parks, not helpful at all!) and I normally just look for the nearest public toilets and fill up from the taps there instead.
Interesting side note:

I know, it's infuriating, right?! I used to run in Regents Park and there was a drinking fountain there, but since I moved Battersea is my nearest. It's a lovely place to run - I just need a little refreshment!
There is one in Green Park if you ever run there. At the top of the hill just outside the station entrance.
Thanks Screamapillar, I'll give it a look!
this is great! http://londonist.com/2011/06/londons-drinking-fountains-mapped.php
Wow - that's AMAZING! Thank you so much 33riggins. It looks like a great website for other London stuff as well. Result!
Pity a lot of them are broken though
