Public drinking fountains in London are reducing plastic bottle use, and over the last year the equivalent of more than 155,000 bottles of single-use plastic bottles (500ml) have been dispensed by the free-to-use fountains.

Fifteen fountains have been installed since March 2018 by the #OneLess campaign’s Fountain Fund, with funding from the Greater London Authority (GLA) and MIW Water Cooler Experts.

As part of a wider initiative to reduce single-use plastics in the capital, the Mayor of London working with Thames Water on a £5m project to install a wider network of over 100 more fountains in locations across London.

The #OneLess campaign is led by international conservation charity the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) and is working to reduce the amount of single-use plastic water bottles in London, creating a city-wide refillable drinking culture.
