Kew Bridge Steam Museum

The Kew Bridge Engines Trust and Water Supply Museum Limited, a registered charity, was formed in 1973 with three primary aims:

• To restore to steam the five historic beam engines at the former Grand Junction Water Works Company’s Kew Bridge Pumping Station.
• Add other important water pumping engines.
• Establish a museum of London’s water supply.

In 1975 the Trust opened the site as a museum. Although the museum has a small paid staff, most of the people visitors meet during a visit are volunteers, who are involved in all areas of the museum operation and play a vital role.
