I don't know why you have singled out LHR for not having water fountains
just because American airports do.

IME most European ones don't, it isn't (wasn't) just London

Maybe other airports I've been through are more efficient so I don't get
stuck for long periods where there are none or there are only machines
requiring a kind of coinage I don't have with me. You may not have
noticed, but cash machines don't dispense coins.

was there really nowhere you could change a note into coins

I do this regularly when a bank machine only dispenses the local
equivalent of 50 pound notes and I know that (e.g.) the local bus driver
isn't going to be too happy when I try and pay him with it.

I do the same when I know I'll need several, but there's usually a place
where I can deal with a human selling things. This is not always the case,
particularly when I'm exhausted from finding the departure gate area
without passing such and barely grabbed the last open seat, which was next
to one of those machines.
