About. Description The Buxton Memorial Fountain is a memorial and drinking fountain in London, the United Kingdom, that commemorates the emancipation of slaves in the British Empire in 1834, and in particular, the role of British parliamentarians in the abolition campaign.

This is one of the monuments that you can see at Victoria Tower Gardens. It is the work of Samuel Sanders Teulon (1865-66) and commemorates the abolition of the slave trade in Britain in the 1830s and to a lesser degree coincided with the abolishment of slavery in the United States in 1866. What you see is a octagonal shaped arch spire with elaborate Gothic Revival details, a style that was something of a trend during the Victorian Age. It is decadent and nice to view while passing through Victoria Tower Gardens
