NOTE: WE are not able, at present , to run the engine which is normally operational on open days. Whilst this is disappointing a visit to the site is still very worthwhile so we have decided to go ahead with this open day.

This is an opportunity to have a look at the buildings and engines, to take in the exhibition and learn something of the Victorian sewer system which continues to serve the capital.

The Trust complies with the the "We're Good To Go" industry standard; during your visit we request that you observe social distancing and wear a mask, unless you are exempt. We are restricting the total number of people that can come to site during the event by limiting the number of tickets available. Access to the Beam Engine House will be managed to ensure that social distancing can be maintained We have previously allocated time slots but, given the likely number of visitors on the day we do not think it necessary for this event.

There is an admission charge for this event:

Age 16 and over - £10.00, Age 5-15 - £3.00, Under 5 free.

Light refreshments will be available and the shop will offer some interesting items for sale. Families can join the learning team for a free make and take craft activity and explore the Crossness site with our children’s activity trail.

Our car park is about 600m from the main building - blue badge holders will be able to park much closer to the building. If you travel by public transport we are quite remote so it may be worth getting a taxi. Nearest station is Abbey Wood.

Having got to Crossness you may decide that, rather than walk, you would prefer a short ride on our light railway which will be operational on the day!
