Ilya KarpukhinOctober 24, 2014Amazing 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.
Robert HughesAugust 25, 2013Great 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
Martin TiedemannJune 12, 201215 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- AaronDecember 22, 2015Unique museum showcasing a unique contribution to London's Victorian growth. Working original engine room machines are dazzling.
bmwelbyNovember 4, 2018My 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)- HISTORY UKJanuary 17, 2011This 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.
Time Out LondonMarch 27, 2012For 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- National Maritime MuseumJuly 11, 2011The 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
Bryan BettsJuly 9, 2011The steampunk exhibition looks small at first, but there's more items scattered around the halls.
Great British Chefs StaffAugust 23, 2011Great day out for the family or geeks who like trains and steam
Great place to take kids they go free the kids love steam especially the railway- Take the kids to have a fun day playing with water and rideing on a steam train. The train only runs on Sundays though.
The Waterworks at War weekend is one of the highlights of the year. In 2011 it's over the werkend of 8th & 9th October
