Routemaster Bus Shuttle (optional extra)

(29th, 30th & 31st December 2025)


 
Kempton open: 10.30am-4pm

 

 

End the year in spectacular style as our mighty triple-expansion engine steams back to life on 29th, 30th & 31st December at Kempton Steam Museum.

And that’s not all…

Back by popular demand, we’re once again teaming up with our friends at the London Museum of Water & Steam (LMWS)! With a special joint ticket, you can explore both museums in one day and travel between them aboard a classic Routemaster bus.

Discover two historic pumping stations, marvel at the engineering giants that once powered London’s water supply, and round off the year with a steam-powered adventure the whole family will love ❤️

 

 

ROUTEMASTER BUS RIDE

 

Hopping onboard? The ride is included with joint admission tickets to both museums. Please note: as a heritage vehicle, the bus does not have step-free access.

🚆 Travelling by public transport? We recommend starting your day at the London Museum of Water & Steam and catching the shuttle to Kempton.

🚗 Coming by car? We suggest beginning at Kempton, where there is plenty of free parking.

GUIDED & SELF-GUIDED TOURS AT KEMPTON


Guided tours of our static engine will be available on the day for an additional £3 per person (subject to availability on the day). Be sure to book your tour at the front desk when you arrive on the day to avoid missing out! 

Tours should last around 1 hour and will take place at: 
13:10, 13:30, 13:50, 14:10, 14:30, 14:50, 15:10

Between the hours of 10:30am-12:30pm, we also offer visitors the chance to climb our incredible Lady Bessie Prescott engine as a self-guided tour - with a free guidebook available to help you explore and navigate the engine by yourself.


All access to the Lady Bessie Prescott engine requires climbing steep stairs and due to historic railings, only those over the height of 1.4m (4' 7") are allowed to ascend the engine.



Please note: tickets for the Hampton & Kempton Waterworks Railway must be purchased separately.
