Festive 40s

For the weekend of 2nd- 3rd December, we’re going back in time to the 1940s to celebrate a wartime waterworks Christmas. There may be a war on, but that’s not going to dampen our spirits: follow our wartime family trail, enjoy Christmas crafts and climb to the top of our Tower to see the same view used by wartime fire watchers.

The Museum will also be open later than usual until 7.30pm, when we'll be joined by Swing Patrol London who will really help us get the party started with their swing dance workshops. You'll also have the chance to ride our railway in the dark and tuck into some hearty wartime food.
