Come along on Saturday 22nd November for a visit to the London Museum of Water & Steam!

**About the museum**
The museum sits on the site of the old Kew Bridge Pumping Station in Brentford. The pumping station opened in 1838 with the aim of providing drinking water. It originally supplied drinking water to Paddington and Kensington, then extending to Earling and by the 20th century it covered most of West London.

It opened as a museum in 1975 and tells the comprehensive story of London's water supply, from Roman times up to the present day, through a series of displays and artefacts arranged across the site. In 2014 the museum reopened to the public following a £2.45 million programme of redevelopment.

We are going on the day when they turn on the engines, called a 'Steam Up' day.
