Whiting Fountain, Victorian drinking fountain in London Borough of Camden, England.
The Whiting Fountain features an octagonal stone basin with inverted segmental curves, bronze eagles, and angle piers in its structural design.
Architect Henry Darbishire constructed this Grade II listed fountain in 1870 during a period of expanding municipal services in London.
The fountain represents the Victorian dedication to public health through the provision of clean drinking water in urban neighborhoods.
The structure includes secondary drinking troughs at different levels, making water accessible to pedestrians throughout the Camden district.
Bronze eagles crown the top of this stone fountain, which stands among pollarded plane trees in Guilford Place.
