Surrey Street Pumping Station, Croydon, Grade II listed pumping station in Croydon, England.

The Surrey Street Pumping Station complex consists of four distinct sections built between 1851 and 1912, featuring brown and white brick constructions with Gothic elements.

The Archbishop of Canterbury inaugurated this pioneering facility on December 11, 1851, marking Croydon as one of the first towns with an integrated water and sewage system.

The station's architectural evolution reflects Victorian engineering progress, combining Neo-Tudor and Gothic styles with features such as castellated towers and polychrome brickwork.

The 1851 section incorporates materials from the West Croydon atmospheric railway station's engine house, dating back to 1845.
