About

Come and discover the story of London's water supply at the London Museum of Water & Steam! With hands-on experiences, you are certain to discover and learn about London’s water supply with the story unfolding right before your eyes.

Investigate old cogs, and historic engines and hear the true hustle and bustle of a working water supply engine.

Discover how our pumping engines work with our hands-on exhibits.

Get those muscles working and make that water move in the Waterworks Gallery!


On selected dates you can jump aboard our narrow-gauge railway and take in the local surroundings or see our collection of stationary engines in steam. Head to the museum What's On for train days and Steam Up dates.


The Splash Zone is a perfect place to let your little ones get wet. Here they can turn and swirl wheels, push pumps and create their own water supply that London would be envious of, and before you leave don’t forget to experience the beautiful natural surroundings in the garden.
