About
The Kempton Steam Museum houses two large triple-expansion steam engines from 1926–1929 at the Kempton Park Waterworks in south-west London, originally manufactured for the Metropolitan Water Board.
The giant triple-expansion engines are spectacular if your child likes machinery and engineering. Limited opening (Sundays only in season), and it closes for half the year. Best for children aged 7+ with specific interest in steam power. Check opening before visiting.
