Whether you are a tourist, or a town planner looking for inspiration, water features are fascinating. If you happen to be in London there are several famous water features can serve as great days out within themselves.
The memorial to Diana Princess of Wales is one of London's top attractions having over a million visitors every year. The water feature is located in Hyde park and consists of a large Cornish granite ring with water pouring on to it and with the water flowing in two different directions at different speeds, entering from the highest point and being pumped at 100 litres per second. There is a child friendly play area at the centre of the feature where there is a large open area connected by three bridges.
For something that may get you soaked but prove fascinating, the "Appearing Rooms" at South Bank, just in front of the Royal Festival Hall are worth a visit. The water rises and falls at random creating the illusion of constantly changing rooms.
The Royal Academy of the Arts features a fountain at the entrance of the courtyard and is dedicated to the memory of Sir Joshua Reynolds who was an artist and founding president of the academy. The nozzles of the fountain match the relative positions of the stars and planets on the night that he was born in 1723. In the evening, the water from each nozzle is illuminated by twin low-voltage tungsten lamps. The fountain is programmed to provide a display ever half an hour for ten minutes. The display can also be choreographed and reprogramed for special events.
A rather unique water feature located in front of the refurbished Royal Festival Hall at South bank is called the Appearing Rooms. This is due to the walls of water that rise and fall in random motion to create a series of constantly changing rooms. Fascinating, but wear a raincoat!

A large Cornish granite ring is soaked with water flowing from two different directions and at two different speeds representing Diana's life.
