Hampton Kempton Waterworks Railway — Attraction in London

This place is finally wheelchair friendly thanks to the efforts of everybody who funded the lift into the museum! The lift fits one person and a powered wheelchair/wheelchair.

They also make a small activity for kids with paper, glitter and stickers but you need to pay...

I visited the Pump House and the Railway. Both are interesting in their own way.

The railway is destined to be a great attraction in coming years. It's volunteers have achieved a lot in recently.

The newly signed agreement with Thames Water, site owners, will permit work to extend the railway in the near future (subject to local authority permission!).

The Pump House goes from strength to strength. The big engine is truly a giant and lovingly maintained. The turbine engine is not so impressive until it's pointed out that it's more powerful than the big engine! Having a second turbine engine opened up to show the inner workings...
