Description
Hop on board as Londons’ only steam railway chugs into action again, making trips around the museum grounds. Visitors can enjoy a ride behind the museum’s resident steam locomotive, Cloister, which offers free rides around the museum grounds each Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday until November and also during Engine Experience Weekends and other special events weekends. Many Victorian waterworks had their own railway and at the Museum this is demonstrated by a short line featuring the steam locomotive Cloister. The passenger carriage now also features a wheelchair accessible compartment, allowing greater access to our railway rides.
In honour of Mothers Day, Kew Bridge Steam Museum are throwing open their doors for FREE to all mothers (accompanied by a child) on this special day, Forgot to get Mum a card? – not to worry, children can enjoy making one.
