About us
Who we are
The first purpose-built museum in Greater London for over 40 years, dedicated to showcasing the work of the world-renowned artist, illustrator, humorist and social commentator William Heath Robinson (1872-1944), the Heath Robinson Museum opened in October 2016 in Pinner Memorial Park, north-west London. Heath Robinson lived in Pinner from 1908-18, some of the most productive years of his life.
The West House and Heath Robinson Museum Trust is a registered charity which restored West House in Pinner Memorial Park for community use. The Trust is a partnership between local Pinner people and the William Heath Robinson Trust, custodians of the artist’s work.
To develop the new Museum, Trustees received funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund of £1.3m. The Museum has two paid staff and around 100 volunteers. We depend on volunteers to carry out our work.
