George Lazarides, handing out ‘legal hosepipe water’ to a Londoner (Picture: George Lazarides / SWNS) A pair of men carried 50 litres of ‘legal hosepipe water’ 51 miles to London, much of which is under a hosepipe ban following weeks of dry weather. Creative partners George Lazarides, 30, and Joe Pattern, 27, drove 25 two-litre bottles of water from Brighton to the capital on August 10. The pair, from London, then set up outside Stockwell Tube station and Croxted Road Garden Centre in Herne Hill, where they handed out water labelled ‘legal hose pipe water’ and gave out water-saving tips. Around 10,000,000 homes in London have been under a hosepipe ban since July 23 as health warnings are issued ahead of the UK’s fifth heatwave. Brighton is not currently under a hosepipe ban. Much of London is currently under a hosepipe ban (Picture: George Lazarides / SWNS) George said the pair wanted to ‘make a point’ about what he branded ‘unfair’ hosepipe bans in some parts of the country, while other regions remained unaffected (Picture: George Lazarides / SWNS) George and Joe decided to make a statement by taking the water to London for gardeners. George, who works in advertising, told Talk to the Press: ‘We saw that in London there is a hosepipe ban and in Brighton there is not, but the whole county is drought-ridden. ‘We wanted to make a point against the water companies on unfair bans and we also wanted to help Londoners and to try to ensure that they could look after their gardens and their green spaces properly. ‘It was partly a joke and partly trying to be helpful. ‘It is strange one county has a hosepipe ban and another doesn’t.’ George and Joe drove to Brighton on Sunday night and filled up the 25 bottles using their friend’s hosepipe. ## Latest London news * Man, 25, was shot dead 'dropping off his girlfriend' outside packed London pub * A 24/7 hyper-capitalist cafe for 'very ambitious people' has landed in London * Fare dodger who avoided almost £4,000 in tickets using contactless trick is caught _**To get the latest news from the capital, visit Metro's** London news hub._ They then made the journey home on Monday and handed out water to around 100 people. George handing out water to someone in London at Stockwell station (Picture: George Lazarides / SWNS) George continued: ‘We got a good response so we will definitely do it again. We knew that there was going to be another heatwave coming. And so we wanted to respond to that. ‘When we spoke to people and gardeners, they were saying how frustrated they were with the hosepipe ban.’ Nine water companies have imposed hosepipe bans across the UK, affecting nearly 26,000,000 people. The restrictions mean hosepipes can’t be used for watering gardens or allotments, washing cars, filling paddling pools, or cleaning windows. Water companies implement them to ensure enough water is saved for drinking and for other essential use. Anyone in breach of the hosepipe ban could be fined up to £1,000.
