Steam power comes alive at London's Kew Bridge Steam Museum. Built in the 19th century to supply London with water, the museum is recognised as the most important historic site of the water supply industry in Britain.

Marvel at the world's largest collection of steam pumping engines, many of which you can see working every weekend.
Ride on London's only steam railway every Sunday from March to November.
Kew Bridge Steam Museum is open every Tuesday to Sunday and is operated by an independent charity which in 2005 celebrated its 30th anniversary. We have a large volunteer force and if you are interested in becoming a volunteer or a member of the Kew Bridge Engines Trust, more details are available in the Membership section.
Every year we organise a range of special events and activities, ranging from science activities for children to our ever popular Live Steam Model Railway Show. For more details, see our Special Events pages.
