    Is this water drinkable?It looks like a pond.

  • Suki

    My friend & I drank from the spring today ~ we are both sick. I'd suggest having the waters tested before trying it yourself..

  • Suki

    NO!

  • dan

    Suki & Gregory, I have drunk water from this spring for an entire week and have a friend who only drinks water from this spring. Have you ever drunk spring water before? Cause if you are not used to it, your body making you ill maybe telling you something. Who said being sick is a bad thing?

  • Suki

    Right! Having time to spare lying in bed cramping in pain, hovering over the pan waiting to puke or not being able to leave the house due to diarrhea is no bad thing.
    Yes I have drunk plenty of spring water before – all over the world. We only had a few mouthfuls of this..

  • dan

    Sorry to hear that, that is not nice. Have you tested the water since?

  • sally

    Theyve tried to build a little pond around where the spring comes up unfortuntely some leaves collect in it come autum. The springs constantly running strongly though – the water I fill into my bottles is as clear as a bell if I dont disturb the leaf layer – ive been drinking this water for a year without any problems at all. Im sorry to hear about sukis experience though

  • Prem

    Anyone drinking from this right now? anyway i will try some of this, no other option near London it seems, its worth the risk and compared to the million of people who drink tap water how bad can it be, will let you know :)

  • Sally Harte

    Been drinking it for 2 years now – I love it – let me know and hopefully if you find it good too we can change the review : )

  • Kieranmurphy

    Prem, how did you get on?

  • joseph94

    Currently i know 5 people who are drinking this water regularly and thriving off of it – one review has made it sound like a bad spring unfortunately : ( – please go there yourself

  • Lara

    I have collected water from this spring twice and have been OK.
    How often do you collect this water, is it OK to let it sit for a month?

  • Sally Harte

    I collect it monthly still but I store it in a dark cool garage under cover – i think thats the key – ive drunk it and its still been perfect after 3 months before – however just for caution i wouldnt go any longer than this and always check it : )  4 years drinking this water now – love the spring : ) no or very little calcium content in it – kettle looks brand new still : )

    There is a Spring in Wimbledon Common (my friend drinks from it regularly) and also one near Bisley (close to Woking, associated with the nearby St John the Baptist Church) which is very red from iron ore.  How easy is it to test the water and how?

  • bwilder71

    Hi Jo

    May I please ask you for directions to the spring at wimbledon common?

    Brian

  • Jo

    Hi Brian, I’ve only been there once with my friend and he led the way so I’m not exactly sure; I remember we entered Wimbledon Park near a Golf Course and when the path split into left and right I think we went left!  I did subsequently notice that there was a well marked on the OS map for Wimbledon in about the right place, so do have a look and I’ll speak to my friend and hope to get you better directions. Jo

    Hi again Brian,

    Here’s the response from my friend Christopher Street, his website is well worth looking at http://www.earthstars.co.uk.  He has a great book about the London Leylines (London Leylines: Pathways of Enlightenment) charting all the main leylines through the Capital and he has also mapped some amazing sacred geometry in London in his book Earthstars The Visionary Landscape, now re-titled as London City of
    Revelation. See Lulu website page.  Both books are also available at
    Watkins Books, 19-21 Cecil Court, London WC2N 4EZ.

    Here’s what Chris had to say …

    Findaspring.com looks interesting.  There are already sites like the Modern Antiquarian and Megalithic portal that list many sacred wells and springs, but of course they don’t focus on drinkability ! and some are not good anymore.

    Directions to the wimbledon well from the war memorial are;Head across the common to camp rd. Where it forks near the golf club, take the right fork to the end where there is a small car park and white cottage nearby.On North side of car park take the left path and the pine trees around the well will be visible in a couple of hundred yards or so.Also there’s -

    The Goodison fountain on Hampstead Heath. One of the sources of the river fleet.
    Chalybeate spring to the SE of Kenwood with fountain featuring a horned man ( green man of the woods). Follow the stream from the bathing pools north and you can get to it that way.
    ***

    Chris also runs an Earthstars SG1 Google Group for anyone feeling guided to work personally with the sacred sites, energies and sacred geometry; to join email Chris.

    Thanks heaps Jo

    I let u know how I get on.

    Hi Jo

    Thanks for messaging me back.

    I eventually found the Wimbledon well but unfortunately it was dry (including the outlet 20 yards from it). Just wanted to see if you knew of any other natural springs in London.

    Sally introduced me to this well and I haven’t looked back since then (6months ago)…the water is crystal clear and tastes sooooo much better than anything I’ve ever tasted. This is my first time with fresh spring water and despite having a very sensitive digestive system, I’ve had no problems with it at all. The spring feeds to the two ponds so when you go make sure you fill from the running stream above the ponds.
