The Victoria Fountain, a 19th-century building in Victoria Park, London

The fountain was designed by Henry Astley Dabushill in 1862 and built by Baroness Bernhardt Kutz at a cost of £ 5000. The fountain is made of granite and is an octagonal shape with a diameter of 8.5 meters, featuring 18 meter red granite columns in Gothic style. It is located near Hackney Gate in Victoria Park, London. The opening ceremony of the fountain in 1862 was attended by 10000 spectators. In the second year after the installation of the fountain, the Illustrated London News called Victoria Park the best people's park in London because its facilities included a fountain.
