I have dear friends who live on Ladbroke Rd right across the way from the cabbie shelter on Kensignton Park Road. When I visit and look out the window, it bring a smile to me face that they exist

In some ways this drew analogies with the Metropolitan Drinking Fountain (as well as Cattle Troughs) that ended up taking cattle drovers away from pubs where there were troughs and into a temperance place.
