The History of Kempton Park Pumping Station and the Water Supply of London

A talk by Stephen Fielding, Trustee of the Kempton Great Engines Trust.

 

Kempton Park Pumping Station has been supplying fresh water to London continuously since 1906. Steam power once dominated the works, including the use of two gigantic triple-expansion steam engines which are today preserved by the Kempton Great Engines Trust. Hear about the history of the waterworks, the impact it had on London during war and peace, and learn about the operation of the world's largest working steam engine.

 

Join Stephen in the Cubic Theatre at the London Transport Museum on Monday 12th February at 18:15.
