Kew Bridge Rd (Green Dragon Ln) London Greater London TW8 0EN United Kingdom
Amazing place, very educational even for adults, for kids it will be truly celebration, a lot of interactive stuff. The full story of water supply industry of Britain in easy and comfortable form.
Great fun. Very educational , took 2 yr old son, liked large machinery but too young to appreciate the engineering behind it all. Loved bottle rockets & gigantic bubbles. £10 for annual pass good value
Unique museum showcasing a unique contribution to London's Victorian growth. Working original engine room machines are dazzling.
15 January: Home to one of the best collections of rotative steam engines in the world. Also home to the Waterworks Railway, a tiny 2-foot gauge railway, which is London's only passenger steam railway
My almost 2 year old had such a good time that I'd recommend this over the Science Museum (even with the comparatively hefty entrance fee)
For genuine steam enthusiasts this museum hosts Cornish engines (in their original engine housings) and rotative engines (collected from pumping stations around the country ). Read more
This pumping house was opened in 1838 to supply west London with clean water, and now houses a collection of early steam engines . The landmark Stand Pipe Tower is based on a Florentine bell tower.
The massive 1846 Cornish Steam Engine was brought from Cornwall by ship, and transported up the Thames by barge . The cast iron beam alone weighs 35 tons. Find your maritime story. Read more
Check the schedule to see what engines are being run.
Take the kids to have a fun day playing with water and rideing on a steam train . The train only runs on Sundays though.
Great day out for the family or geeks who like trains and steam
The steampunk exhibition looks small at first, but there's more items scattered around the halls.
The Waterworks at War weekend is one of the highlights of the year. In 2011 it's over the werkend of 8th & 9th October

Cafe in middle of the Park is a great spot for morning breakfast! £4.90 for full fry up including hot drink! - Kevin O'Connor
Love this place, always a bargain to be found or something new to check out - Chris R (thechristophe)
A little pricey but totally worth it for transport nerds. Easily a few hours entertainment wandering round the generally quiet exhibitions. Lots of original vehicles and some brilliant models. - Matt Taylor
Great cider selection and good atmosphere. Tunes from the record player behind the bar are a nice touch. - Lindsay O
A lovely autumn / late summer day trip. They have a tree-top walk and pagodas which is ace, but I also really appreciated the Sackler Crossing... a beautiful bridge designed by John Pawson. - Robin Howie
