A place worth knowing
This is a book-a-date destination, not a museum with ordinary daily walk-in hours. Choose an announced open or steaming day and check whether the beam engine and railway will operate. Transport arrangements can be part of the event, including selected shuttles from Abbey Wood. Follow the official visitor route to the old pumping station.
