Description
A collection of stationary steam pumping engines
The London Museum of Water and Steam (previous Kew Bridge Steam Museum) houses the world's largest collection of Cornish beam engines, including the Grand Junction 90 Engine, used to pump water to London for 98 years. This engine is still in work, and is steamed twice a week, most weeks. Prepare to get wet in the outdoors “Splashzone” where little and big kids can turn wheels, gears and pumps to move water by hand to create amazing outcomes.
London Museum of Water and Steam opened its doors after a major refurbishment in March 2014. The museum is home to London's only operating steam railway. The line runs for 400 yards around the Kew Bridge site. Passenger trains are operated on Sundays during the summer months and on other special days, like Valentine's, for example.
