Aldgate Pump, Historic water pump at Aldgate junction, City of London, England.
The Grade II listed iron water pump features a wolf head spout and stands at the intersection of Aldgate High Street and Leadenhall Street.
First mentioned during King John's reign in the 13th century, the current pump structure was relocated and rebuilt in 1876 by the New River Company.
The pump marks the traditional boundary of London's East End and appears in Charles Dickens' literary work The Uncommercial Traveller from 1860.
The water source switched from underground streams to mains supply in 1876 after discoveries of contamination from nearby cemetery grounds.
The metal wolf head decoration on the pump's spout commemorates the location where the last wolf in the City of London was killed.
