Freeman Family Fountain

Last Autumn, the Royal Parks Foundation and The Royal Parks unveiled a new, much needed public drinking fountain in Hyde Park - the first for 30 years. The Freeman Family Fountain has been generously donated by Michael Freeman, who is a Trustee of the Royal Parks Foundation. The unique and beautiful fountain was designed by David Harber, who creates sundials, sculptures and water features across the world.
