London Museum of Water & Steam is an independent museum founded in 1975 as the Kew Bridge Steam Museum. It was rebranded in early 2014 following a major investment project.
Explore the exciting new Waterworks interactive gallery, prepare to get wet in the new outdoors Splash Zone, watch the engines come to life every weekend, take part in hands-on family activities, or relax in Stokers Café, complete with comfy sofas and a play table for children.
The headline price includes a small 10% donation to the Kew Bridge Engines Trust to support us in maintaining the collection of historically significant engines and keeping them in steam. Day tickets can be purchased online for a 10% DISCOUNT and can be upgraded to annual passes at the Museum on the day of the visit.
