“The streets of London have their map, but our passions are uncharted. What are you going to meet if you turn this corner?”
Virginia Woolf
The Edmond J. Safra Fountain Court is at the heart of Somerset House - a dignified courtyard with a mischievous streak.
The array of jets dance in an orchestrated sequence, with added coloured lighting at night - a refreshing surprise on a warm summer day.
The fountains are normally switched on for spring and summer months, except when events take place in the courtyard which require them to be off; during Xmas time the space is taken by an amazing Ice Ring.
To be honest nothing really matters, if you are near Somerset House during the Summer do this: Take your shoes off and run around the fountains...you will never be the same. Run like when you were a kid and nothing matter, run like crazy, run and get wet and laugh loud.
