London Museum of Water and Steam, Independent steam machinery museum in Brentford, United Kingdom.

The museum contains multiple steam engines and water pumping equipment within the Victorian buildings of the former Kew Bridge Waterworks facility.

The Grand Junction Waterworks Company established this pumping station in 1838, which later transformed into a museum preserving industrial engineering heritage in 1975.

The site maintains the largest collection of operational Cornish engines globally, including the Grand Junction 90-inch engine demonstrating industrial engineering methods.

The museum welcomes visitors from Thursday to Sunday between 10:00 and 16:00, with additional Wednesday openings during summer school holidays.

The museum operates a narrow-gauge railway featuring a steam locomotive named after engineer Thomas Wicksteed, complementing its water supply exhibits.
