Walthamstow Pumphouse Museum

This Grade II-listed former Victorian waste water pumping station stopped sloshing around sewage a while ago and is now home to something far more palatable. Hidden inside are trains, planes and various other landmark automobiles that are some of the firsts of their kind. See original steam engines from the Victorian era, a huge collection of fire engines which include machines going back to 1800, explore 1960s tube carriages and a model of the iconic London ‘B’ type bus and watch a model railway depicting the Chingford to Liverpool Street line from the steam era, as well as other technology, transport and industrial history of Walthamstow and the Lea Valley. Visit on Sundays for the full experience, or hit up the regular tube supper clubs where you can feast on a six-course tasting menu with fellow rail enthusiasts in a vintage tube carriage.
