Steam power and supper clubs

Adam visits the Walthamstow Pump House Museum in East London, a hidden gem bursting with engines, model trains, and family fun! Volunteer Victoria gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the museum's impressive Marshall steam engine, which once helped pump sewage uphill and kept Victorian London running. We also pop into the model train room, where volunteers are recreating the historic Weaver Line, complete with old-fashioned trains, a WWII bunker, and bustling high streets. The museum even has real 1967 Victoria Line tube carriages repurposed as a unique Supper Club, where diners enjoy a mashup of history and delicious Latin American cuisine inside a genuine train carriage. Families are welcome to explore, with Sunday craft sessions in the iconic pump room, DIY workshops in the Tool House for budding engineers, and a friendly tuck shop-style café offering treats and local hospitality. Whether you want to dive into engineering, try your hand at crafts, or just marvel at the machinery, there's something for everyone, including ways to get stuck in as a volunteer!
