Kempton Steam Museum

Kempton Steam Museum, located in southwest London, is home to the world's largest working triple expansion steam engine, the Sir William Prescott Engine. This historic museum, housed within a Grade II listed Scheduled Monument, showcases impressive steam machinery that once pumped London's drinking water from 1929 until 1980.

The museum features additional steam turbines and their restoration efforts for the Lady Bessie Prescott Engine, while volunteers from the Kempton Great Engines Trust work to preserve the site's engineering magnificence for future generations. Visitors can enjoy special events and weekends throughout the year, where they have the opportunity to witness the Sir William Prescott engine in action.
