The London Museum of Water and Steam is initiating a crowdfunding campaign to restore its iconic standpipe tower, built in 1867. This unique structure is the tallest standpipe in London and features original cast-iron pipework, making it a significant piece of Victorian engineering. The tower closed in 2019 due to decay and an infestation of pigeons, leading to heavy contamination. To fund the restoration, the museum seeks to raise £15,000 to supplement a £30,000 grant. Once restored, visitors can enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding area, including prominent London landmarks.
The London Museum of Water and Steam is crowdfunding to re-open its 1867-built standpipe, the tallest in London and a unique Victorian landmark.
The standpipe tower closed in 2019 due to internal decay, contamination, and an infestation of pigeons, which left it heavily contaminated.
The museum aims to raise £15,000 in crowdfunding to complement a £30,000 grant already received for the restoration work on the tower.
Visitors will be able to enjoy panoramic views over Brentford and central London landmarks like the Shard and Canary Wharf after the restoration.
