One of London's quirkier museums, this 19th century former pumping station today houses interactive exhibits and steam engines. Built in 1846 and installed here to pump water from the Thames into London's households, it was shut down in 1944 and became a museum in 1975. The 90 inch Grand Junction actually pumps for half an hour each Saturday (3pm-3:30pm). Admission is £4.50 Adults; £3.60 Students; £2 Children ages 5-15; £1 concessions.
