Features

Celebrating the power that shaped London: The London Museum of Water & Steam is more than just a museum — it's a living, breathing piece of industrial history. Housed in a Grade I listed pumping station, our site tells the remarkable story of how clean water and steam power helped London grow into the city it is today.
History of the site: Discover the fascinating story behind our Grade I listed pumping station – once at the heart of London’s water supply. Learn how this remarkable site evolved from Victorian engineering marvel to much-loved museum.
Steaming sustainably: We’re proud of our heritage – and committed to protecting the future. Find out how we balance historic steam operation with modern environmental responsibility as we work towards a greener museum.

Facilities

Parking: A limited number of car parking spaces are available. The museum car park will be closed on Brentford FC home match fixture dates and other dates throughout the year for private events.
Food & Drinks: The museum café is currently closed due to a changeover. We are happy for picnics to be brought in while we make this transition.
Toilets: There is an accessible toilet next to the shop and café. Male and female toilets are available in the Steam Hall. We have baby changing facilities and potty training seats available in all our toilets.
Dogs: Assistance dogs are welcome in all areas of the Museum.
