We always suspected it, but now it’s official. The office water cooler is, and has always been, the most likely place you’ll meet the love of your life. It’s a place where everyone goes at least a couple of times a day, and makes small talk; somewhere you can get an idea of what someone […]
Many say that a pet around the office can help workers concentrate and relax them, providing a calming presence when things are going crazy. Not only this, but there is the opportunity of being selected to care for the office hamster/cat/puppy/iguana over the weekend; for some, this responsibility is a career highlight. We, however, believe […]

In an age where everything we do, think, breathe and experience is posted online via Facebook, Twitter, Bebo, or any other social networking site we care to be associated with, there comes the tricky debate between couples of how much of their private lives must be publicised for the world to read about. As some […]
Starting a new job is never massively easy; you’ve got to get in with the boss, show them what you’re made of, you sometimes start at the bottom of the ladder all over again when you’ve been working upwards for many years previously, and then there is of course getting in with the office water […]
Our friends across the pond (the Atlantic pond, that is) in Minnesota seem to have the ‘green’ thing down to a T, with $3.3 million being spent on environmentally friendly innovations such as wind turbines, as well as residents funding their own solar panels. A wonderful idea, that is until the turbines are foiled by […]
Let’s face it, the last thing you want to think about in your working day is whether or not your handy supply of water bottles for your office water cooler will actually be turning up this week. One of the best ways to take this menial problem off your mind is to set up an […]
Let’s face it, being the boss at Christmas time is not necessarily masses of fun- you’re giving out bonuses, organising office parties (which, to be fair, you get to enjoy once the stressful part is out the way), and sorting out the secret Santa presents which you’re not sure anyone will actually like anyway….why not […]
If you’ve been lucky enough to be in the Big Apple recently, you may have seen advertising for something so incredibly extraordinary and original, that you simply could not resist its charms, and had to pop your self along to see what all the fuss was to be about. ‘The Water Coolers’, brought to life […]
A new initiative to bring bottled water coolers into the backseats of taxis across Dubai has been confirmed to go ahead, following a deal signed between the Dubai Taxi Corporation (DTC) and the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) in the United Arab Emirates city.

It’s common knowledge that having a groovy office water cooler in your place of work is of utmost importance; you and your colleagues need somewhere to relax, get refreshed by delicious spring water (at room temperature or cold, however you like it), and, possibly most importantly, somewhere to have a good old natter and catch […]
The water cooler Camden team live, eat, breathe, sleep water. That’s the way we like it, and quite frankly, the way they like it too, particularly as our spring water is so good for you. In celebration of this fact, and of our beautiful team, we thought we’d share some of our favourite water-related products […]
In the last of our office water cooler-friendly fables series, lovingly penned by Aesop to help us avoid falling into tricky situations, we hear about the dog who simply wasn’t willing to accept what he had, and thus lost in whilst striving for something he thought would be even more satisfying; this, of course, turned […]
Following the roaring success of our water cooler fable recounted in last week’s blog, we thought we’d share another with you, to pass on around the office water cooler and impress all your workmates. This time round, we hear about the clever crow who, upon stumbling across a pitcher of water with a low water level and thus […]
It’s always lovely to be able to show off your extremely brilliant and knowledgeable self around the office water cooler, and what better to share with your work mates than water-related stories, such as those lovely fables penned by Aesop all those years ago. This week, the moral of the story is “Look before you […]
As you may have guessed by now, we love water. And this is why we like to spend our weekends around Merton Abbey Mills, the delightful old water mill which now plays host to an abundance of stalls selling jewellery, clothes, furnishings and other home-made goods, all day on a Sunday. Not only this, but […]
More than anything, or maybe about as much as we love gossiping around the office water cooler, we love our food. You name it, we probably enjoy it, and with our extensive sampling of lunching/dinner munching at restaurants in the capital, we thought we’d share some of our favourite with you. Maybe we’ll even see […]
Summer is well and truly on the way, and many of us will be jetting off to exotic locations to get away from the UK, from the office water cooler routine, to soak up the sun somewhere where it is more-or-less guaranteed (rather than prayed for, like here at home). If you’ve got a long-haul […]
It’s been a while since there was a decent film made about a water cooler, and that’s why we love the idea of producing one. We have in fact made a new friend recently- the lovely James, who just happens to be studying for a PhD (yes, we know, very clever indeed) in film at […]
The well-loved institution that is British comedy seems to have done nothing but get better and better throughout the Naughties. Series such as Peep Show and Green Wing entice audience onto their sofas week after week, along with golden oldies that remain some of the best shows around (who watched Monty Python this Christmas? We […]
It’s a well-known fact that the office water cooler really brings out the best (and worst/most frightening/more bizarre) things in oneself and in one’s colleagues. If you’re having a browse of our blog on your well-earned lunch break, read on, and take our little quiz to find out, which water cooler Tooting personality are you? […]
We love a good old love story, and we particularly enjoy hearing all about each other’s romantic encounters. Valentine’s Day seems like the perfect opportunity to show the one you love how much you really care, so we quizzed each other on how we made our feelings known on February 14th this year, beginning with […]
We at Water cooler Camden can barely believe we’re so far through 2010 already; it’s clearly all the fun we’ve been having looking after our customers, installing new water coolers, and of course meeting all our new clients and getting to know them a little. We have however somewhat neglected our New Year’s resolutions, so […]
The recession of 2009 was one of the most difficult periods in a long time, for a lot of people- small businesses went bankrupt, and many feared their homes would be repossessed. On the 30th December last year, the Government announced that one of the newest budget-saving schemes would be to cut the amount of […]
Islington council, who proudly call themselves one of the greenest boroughs in London, have decided to pull the plug on funding for office water coolers, stating that precious funds are being wasted on frivolities such as these when there is nothing wrong with drinking from the tap. Following the laws that all employers must provide […]
Now that we’ve reached 2010, we thought we’d do a quick review of the year that has just passed, and look back on some of the good times we had throughout 2009. We hope you enjoy… January: The Water Delivery Company celebrated its sixth birthday. Nearly at the double digits! May: Temperatures soared and sales […]

It’s finally happened- a satirical musical has been penned about the life and times of a water cooler (or rather those who gather around it on a daily basis for idle chitchat and gossip- of which most of us are one too, I feel), and is being performed at the Lakeshore Theatre in Chicago. In […]
