Traveler question: Is tap water in London safe in 2020?

A big question than all travelers ask themselves: Is tap water in London safe to drink? In this post we will see that London’s tap water is safe to drink so you have nothing to worry about and focus on visiting London’s fabulous travel attractions. And we will also give you an overview of the main London travel attractions you can see!

If you are not familiar with the term, the pH value of water shows how acidic or alkaline the water is. The WHO states that the water should at all times have a pH in between 6.5 to 8.5 maximum. These figures are still debated to this day especially given the new rise in popularity of alkaline water pushing the boundary up to 9 for the pH. Excessif levels of chlorine in water can lead to severe health complications in extreme cases. These complications include vomiting, coma or even death in these extreme cases.

The TDS levels were measured by Thames Water and their values fluctuated between 270 and 277 ppm. We were pretty sceptical of these values given the measurement we had taken while working on the development of the Skuma device. While collecting samples to check the TDS value for the 4 locations, we noticed that the theoretical values offered by Thames Water are simply not realistic. Out of 40 samples collected in the 4 different locations we get an average of 316 TDS. The data provided seems to indicate that all these metrics are present in safe quantities in London.

And with that comes lots and lots (and lots) of people. The city can sometimes feel a little overwhelming, especially for first-time visitors with its fast-paced hustle and bustle. Also, like New York, it’s wonderful to “escape” the city by chilling out in a beautiful park or green space.
