The Kew Bridge Steam Museum is housed in a magnificent 19th Century Pumping Station and centres around the stations five world famous Cornish Beam Engines, two of which can be seen, in steam, every weekend.
Originally used to pump West Londons water supply for more than a century, one of them, the Grand Junction 90, is the largest working beam engine in the world.
In the surrounding buildings four more large engines, also at work at weekends, demonstrate more modern steam pumping machinery. We also have examples of diesel, water and animal powered pumping systems, as would typically be found in rural settings.
Many Victorian waterworks had their own railway. At Kew Bridge this is demonstrated by a short line featuring the Steam locomotives Cloister and Wendy, which give rides every Sunday from March to November.
Kew Bridge Steam Museum is operated by an independent charity and in the year 2000 celebrated its 25th anniversary. We have been designated an Engineering Heritage Hallmark Site by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, and the Institute of Mechanical Engineers. 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.
