Certainly a mouthful but AquAid Liverpool has you coolered nonetheless!
For all Liverpool is renowned for:
- having two of the most famous football teams in the world: Liverpool and Everton*;
- having the most Grade II-listed buildings outside London, all 2,500 of them* or;
- the fact that Liverpool is the most filmed British city outside London, including films such as Sherlock Holmes, In The Name of The Father, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, and The Dark Knight*;
It seems nobody knows how Liverpool actually got its name. The old English translation is ‘lower pool’ – ‘Liuerpul’ became Liverpool as the ‘u’ was corrupted to a ‘v’ – Liverpul – Liverpool but it might also have come from the Welsh word ‘llif’ meaning ‘flood’. Whichever the belief, the etymology of the name ‘Liverpool’ is not fully known.
Not to worry though, because whether you’re based in the unknown origin named Liverpool itself or further afield in Blackpool, Queensferry or Southport, AquAid Liverpool is available for all your water and water cooler requirements. They may not be ferrying across the Mersey to get to you, but they’re certainly always able to offer you the very best in water coolers and dispensers, whatever your set-up requires.
Contact them today – they’ll be more than pleased to assist.

We hope by now, by browsing our super new spiffy website, that you’ve seen that AquAid really do put the cool in your water cooler, and that we’re geared to be able to provide you with any requirements you may have, water cooler wise, across the United Kingdom. But you may not be aware that there is not one, but two, AquAid Water Coolers branches in London?
You didn’t? Well, step right up, dear customers, past, present and future and let’s introduce ourselves.
The first AquAid London branch we’re focusing on is the AquAid Central London branch, with premises in Andrews Road, E8 4QN.
AquAid Central London has been in operation for 15 years and services their more than 800 customers’ requirements for water, water cooler and water related products.
It’s almost impossible to itemise what makes London so special, so today we’re focusing on perhaps lesser known nibs of interest in and around the AquAid Central London office.
Sir John Soane’s: The architect of the Bank of England had a magpie’s eye for unusual and exquisite bric-a-brac. His former home has long served as a museum space to show off the collection, which includes period furniture, paintings by the likes of Hogarth and, most memorably, the sarcophagus of Seti I. Entrance to this one of a kind museum is free.
Great Ormond Street Hospital is possibly the best and most famous children’s hospital in the world. But what you may not be aware of is that the hospital owns the rights to Peter Pan. Peter Pan is one of the greatest children’s stories ever told, and in 1929, its author J. M. Barrie gifted the copyright to the hospital, eight years before his death.
King’s Cross Station is a magical place. The station features in many books and films, but its most famous appearance in either comes as the gateway to Platform 9¾ and the Hogwarts Express in the Harry Potter series. Author J.K. Rowling picked King’s Cross because her parents met on a train at the station (although the author was apparently thinking of Euston Station’s platforms 9 and 10 at the time).
Even if you’re based at Platform 9¾ in Central London, the AquAid Central London branch is more than equipped for all your water and water cooler requirements. They’d be delighted to assist, so please do get in contact.

I don’t know about you, but if you’re not a local, when I think of Edinburgh and The Lothians, it always brings to mind unicorns, cobbled streets and interesting sounding bridge names. Perhaps the latter is due to my having read my way through the Rebus’ books. Whichever way you look at it, Edinburgh has a fascinating history and a legion of places, people and landmarks of interest.
AquAid Edinburgh, or AquAid Lothian as the branch is more commonly known, has been looking after their more than 1,000 customers in Edinburgh; Alloa; East Lothian; Falkirk; Fife; Midlothian; Perth; Scottish Borders and Stirling since they opened their doors in 2005.
Edinburgh & The Lothians are so close, yet they’re both so very different. Scotland‘s cosmopolitan capital city borders with miles of lush countryside and the attractive coastline of the Lothians.
But even if you’re a local, there are quite a few startling facts about this gorgeous city and region you may not be aware of.
Like the fact that the Castle is perched on top of part of a volcano.* Arthur’s Seat isn’t the only extinct volcanic feature in Edinburgh. Castle Rock is actually a volcanic plug, and it’s 340 million years old…
And, what about the source of Scrooge* – Charles Dickens invented the famous character of Scrooge when he misread the tombstone of successful Edinburgh merchant Ebenezer Scroggie in the Canongate Kirkyard. Dickens was horrified by the apparently hard-hearted inscription ‘Meanman’ – but the tombstone actually read ‘Mealman’ in recognition of Scroggie’s successful career as a corn trader. Thus, a legend was mistakenly born.
We can’t leave out the fact that 75% of the city’s buildings are listed.* In fact, Edinburgh has the most listed sites in the UK outside of London, with more than 4,500 buildings making the list.
It’s where the Encyclopaedia Britannica was first published.* The Encyclopaedia Britannica was first produced in Edinburgh, and the first edition caused controversy due to the anatomy section which was said to contain “unvarnished portrayals of the unmentionable parts of the human body.”
Rose’s Lime Juice was first made here.* Taking a tip from sailors avoiding scurvy at sea, Lauchlan Rose patented a method to preserve citrus juice using sugar in 1867 and Rose’s Lime Juice was born. The first factory to produce the now world famous cordial opened on Commercial Street in Leith in 1868.
The meaning of ‘caddie’.* The word ‘caddie’ is now commonly associated with golf, but is thought to have originated as a description of the men who were hired to carry pails of water up the tenement flats in Edinburgh’s Old Town.
The professional team of installers, drivers and engineers at AquAid Edinburgh certainly don’t bring you pails of water, but they are responsible for getting your water to you and keeping your water coolers in tip top condition.
For all your water and water coolers requirements in Edinburgh and The Lothians, contact any one of the amazing team at the AquAid Edinburgh branch – they’ll be delighted to assist.
