The museum is housed in a nineteenth-century pumping station and contains the famous Cornish beam engines, which used to pump west London’s water supply. A permanent interactive exhibition ‘Water For Life’ tells the story of water, from the time of the Roman occupation of London, through the cholera epidemics of the nineteenth century, the growth of public sanitation and domestic amenities such as wash houses and private lavatories to the modern high technology of the London Main Ring.
