Ready Money drinking fountain, Regent's Park
This four-sided granite and marble gothic drinking fountain was given to the park in 1869 by Sir Cowasjee Jehangir, a wealthy Parsee industrialist from Bombay, whose nickname was Ready Money. It was his thank-you for the protection he and fellow Parsees received from British rule in India.
