That article is outdated, but London, in fact, Thames Water definitely do not artfically fluoridate their water supply - (There may be natural levels of fluoride in water generally)
Firstly, there was a white paper looking at fluoridating the whole of the UK - even if that was to happen it would take years to do and many legal obstacles to overcome..
Secondly, information in that article in now incorrect such as local authorities are responsible, this is now overseen by the Secretary of State in the Department of Health and Social Care

Thanks for clearing that up Musa.
But I am still non the wiser.
So if I don't have a filter under the sink, it tap water (from south west London) or bottled spring water clearing?

Due to London water tasting shitty compared to the nectar I grew up on up North I've used a filter jug in the fridge for years. I probably change the filter half as much as recommended but it doesn't seem to be an issue. Stick it in the dishwasher when I change the filter as well.

It is tap water.
For spring/mineral water, it will be from a groundwater source typically private
Radnor Hills Is a company that came to mind

Thanks @musa
Definitive! Maybe not, it may well actually be that its a 50/50 call as there doesn't seem to be either a hive mind consensus not a government or national one.
Without wanting to sound all conspiracy nut nut, I wonder if Thames Water, considering recent events, can be relied upon to publish the correct data.

Following a further search on the contents of hormones, which I would consider to be a more severe risk then fluoride, I have found the following article and this one too, puts the level of hormones present in to context.
Edit: Filtered tap water is better than bottled due to EDCs from plastic.

The results are reliable - it is all reportable and its all public information.
you can always get an independent labs to test the water if you want -

So you have two taps? I couldn’t see a hot and cold tap

Yeah still have the same mixer tap for bogstandard Thames Water hormone cordial, this one is a mini addition next to that. You have to be 100% on where you want it before you commit

my son has been buying cans of liquid death water lately.
I'm pretty sure he's just being swayed by
cool marketing, but at least it's better than drinking coke or energy drinks.must admit, some of the merch is pretty nice. they do some fancy dog chew toys and stuff!
Yeah, I know, great, I ran out yesterday, those 200 only lasted about a week, my daily bath alone took dozens.
