Description
The drinking fountain, located at the junction with Shaftesbury Avenue, was built in 1897. It was presented by the St Giles Board of Works through the Metropolitan Drinking Fountain & Cattle Trough Association to commemorate Queen Victoria's two Jubilees. The fountain is made of polished red granite and is designed in a Romanesque style. It features a rectangular stepped base with block steps leading up to a canopy supported by attached columns at the corners. This canopy has an entablature with a cornice that rises to form segmental pediments on each face. At the top, there is a gadrooned dome. Each side of the canopy includes a shallow round-arched niche with incised decoration, a water spout, and a projecting semicircular basin.
