London Museum of Water and Steam

Who we are

Our vision is to harness the potential of our world-class steam engines to celebrate the remarkable story of human ingenuity, innovation, and engineering, inspiring audiences to our cause. We show the determination of a city to ensure access to clean water for millions. This timeless narrative is just as fundamental today as it was then. It will guide us towards a collective commitment to forge a better, sustainable future for generations to come. 

Our culture and values

We are collaborative with those we work with, creating the future of the Museum together with our communities and stakeholders. We channel our creativity and engineering skill to make us innovative, forward thinking and flexible to challenges.

We are inclusive, everyone is welcome at the Museum. We encourage all to share our spaces, our stories and enjoy being together in a culture of respect.

We are fun! We bring boldness and creativity to our work. We surprise everyone with who we are and what we can achieve, bringing joy and fun into the lives of the people who share our collections, our spaces and our mission.

We are ambitious in our plans for our museum and what we can achieve. We demonstrate this in our passion and commitment to our cause. We care for our collections in ways that keep us relevant, and our stories as accessible as possible.

We are entrepreneurial in our approach. We are experimental and have an eye for opportunity and a long-term view – valuing the museum as security provider for our teams, partners and communities.
