Are there drinking water fountains airside at London City Airport?

Question

When flying, I normally take an empty water bottle (or two) with me. To comply with liquid regulations at security, I ditch any remaining water landside just before or after checkin, pass through security with completely empty water bottles (which is allowed), then find a water fountain air-side to refill it. I then have (for free!) water for the flight.

I can't see anything on the London City Airport website, either in text or on the map, about water fountains. I couldn't spot any either from a quick look in person, but I know that while London's Heathrow Airport has them they're not always the easiest to spot without directions, so it isn't impossible I missed them.

So, are there drinking water fountains air-side at London City Airport, and if so, where?

Answer 1

Having checked with both the information desk in the airport, and emailing the airport, the answer is sadly no. Their response was:

Thank you for your comments about drinking water fountains.

Lack of suitable locations has been the main issue why we have not introduced the facilities, however, we have started a terminal development program and are looking at making changes that best meets the passenger's needs.

However, there is a workaround to get water for free:

If you need water please approach any of our restaurants in departures and a member of staff will happily assist you.

I can confirm that the Caffe Nero near gates 21-24 have cups and a water jug out for all to avail themselves of, and the City Grill were perfectly happy to give me a glass of iced water (even offered a slice of lemon!) when I wasn't ordering anything else from them. I haven't tried asking to get a waterbottle filled though, will have to look into that on another trip.

Answer 2

Here's a 2020 info: filtered water refill station located at gates 7&8, and all food and drink places are happy to refill your water bottle on request :)
