The old pump is located within a chained area in front of the perfumery. Although we weren't able to check to see if the pump still operates since it's within a chained area, we do not believe it is working.
"Ingólfsbrunnur or Ingolfs well was one of Reykjavik's main watering wells . The well was also known as Vikur well (after the farmers who lived there) and after the print house Prentsmiðjupósturinn (printers-post). The well was a popular meeting place and water boys exchanged news so in a way the well was the source of all news in the town- up until the first newspaper came out." --Source (
