The Baroness Burdett Coutts Drinking Fountain, also known as the Victoria Fountain, is a Grade II* listed drinking fountain located in Victoria Park, London. Designed by Henry Astley Darbishire in 1862, it was erected at a cost of £5,000 and features a stunning Gothic style with a granite octagonal structure and red granite columns. The fountain is a significant historical monument, attended by 10,000 spectators at its opening. While it is no longer in public use, it remains a symbol of London's rich cultural heritage and is part of a major restoration of Victoria Park completed in 2011. Visitors can enjoy the surrounding park area, with no admission fee required. The fountain is accessible to the public.
