waitrose's cheapest own brand one, that costs 42p for 2 litres, much nicer than the equivalent product in Sainsburys and Tescos which I find don't taste much different than London tap water (bleuch!) xx

I've got used to the taste of London tap water and now if I go to Cornwall where I grew up the water there tastes rank! If I'm drinking bottled water I prefer Buxton, the only one I don't like is Asda's own brand, not tried all the other own brands though so they could all be nasty for all I know!

I'm originally from up North and the London tap water makes me want to cry, I hate the taste of it and could never get used to it, it makes me gag! Also I hate the limescale, before I used to live in one of the softest water areas in the UK now I live in one of the hardest, I get through so much viakal and soda crystals and still stuff never looks clean

I taste such a difference, my fave is Evian. Highland spring is ok too, volvox tastes weird and dries my mouth, Vittel is gross and I just can't drink it. Can't re,ember any other brands right now! Some taste fake, like liquid plastic or something, like it's not real water. I don't know how else to describe it! I love water though, it's what I drink 90% of the time over anything else.

Dont have any preference

but I can tell the diff between bottled and tap, I never drink water straight from tap anymore, has to be boiled

Evian! Preferably in the squeezy bottle.

Evian is my favourite. I may have to go get some tomorrow after reading this thread!

I didn't expect so many replies to this thread, lol. I don't recognize most of the brands mentioned, but we do have Evian here. My ex's grandmother had water from a well. I was excited to try it, still couldn't tell the difference though :/
