Because even if it gets recycled, the plastic needs to be manufactured first, then filled and later transported. And there is no scientific evidence that it is healthier or safer to drink bottled water than directly from the tap. Actually, it might be the opposite since the plastic may leach chemicals into the water over time.<\/span><\/p>\n There is, tap water. London has some of the cleanest tap water in the world. Just get a nice refillable bottle and you will be able to bring water with you wherever you go.<\/span><\/p>\n And if you don\u2019t like the taste of tap or are worried about contamination from old pipes then use a simple filter for tasty and safer water. <\/span>TAPP Water<\/span><\/a> provides faucet filters that can provide you with fresh and clean water for less than 5 pounds per month.
