This stone pedestal fountain is adorned with a relief carving of the City of Westminster Coat of Arms, and a metal plaque reading "Drinking Assn Grant Aided."
Nevertheless, Blasterz were not thirsty enough to try its water on the day we were there (no offense intended).
This stone water fountain has been converted to a pay-fountain for the modern era, but mostly retains its elegant historic appearance, due chiefly to the Westminster Coa of Arms carved on one side.

City of Westminster Coat of arms
The Westminster coat of arms were given to the city by an official grant on September 2, 1964.
Westminster had other arms before, which was identical to the chief in the present arms. The symbols in the lower two thirds of the shield stand for former municipalities now merged with the city, Paddington and St. Marylebone."
