Why do you think they call it the Readymoney Drinking Fountain? We are standing before a grand gesture of gratitude, a monument to goodwill between nations. The Readymoney Drinking Fountain wasn’t always a silent sentinel. It was once a bustling hub, offering refreshment to thirsty Londoners. It was a gift from Sir Cowasji Jehangir Readymoney, a successful Parsee businessman known for his generosity, hence the name “Readymoney”. This monument wasn’t just about quenching thirst. It was about expressing thanks to the people of England for their protection of the Parsees in British India. Unveiled in 1869 by Princess Mary of Teck, this Grade II listed structure, made from Sicilian marble and Aberdeen granite, speaks volumes of Sir Readymoney’s gratitude and the craftsmanship of its time. Though the water no longer flows, the Readymoney Drinking Fountain still stands, a testament to a unique bond and a reminder of the power of gratitude.
