King Edward VII Jewish Memorial Drinking Fountain
King Edward VII Jewish Memorial Drinking Fountain, Memorial drinking fountain in Whitechapel, England
The stone and bronze fountain stands opposite the London Hospital entrance on Whitechapel Road, featuring a central pillar topped with sculpted angels.
Jewish residents of East London funded this memorial in 1911 to honor King Edward VII, who ruled Britain from 1901 until 1910.
Bronze figures on the fountain represent symbolic elements of Jewish life, including cherubs holding objects that reference immigration, education, and local industries.
The Grade II listed structure provides a water source while serving as a reference point for visitors navigating the London Borough of Tower Hamlets.
Silver Frith's sculptural elements include cherubs holding a ship and needle, representing the Jewish immigrant community and their contribution to local textile manufacturing.
