Andrew Gibb was one of the first Aldermen of the Metropolitan Borough of Greenwich. The drinking fountain stands within a large octagonal shelter with eight pillars, a roof, and no walls. The fountain stands towards the north side of the structure and comprises a large circular basin on an octagonal pedestal, set on top of a square block. The basin is solid and quartered, with two sloping basins cut into the east and west sides of the flat top surface, and a small shallow round basin cut into the south side. The shelter is a substantial structure, an octagonal pavilion with eight Doric concrete columns at the angles, supporting a wood-lined tiled roof surmounted by a wooden cupola. This is cube-shaped and has a weathervane on top. The shelter has a clock in the turret with four faces.
