About Hampton and Kempton Waterworks Railway
For your next family day out, come along and discover
Hampton Kempton Waterworks Railway. It’s one of the
only operational steam narrow-gauge railways of its kind
within the M25 and it has a fascinating heritage.
Train lovers of all ages will enjoy a ride on this historic railway, featuring
‘Darent,’ the railway’s locomotive built in 1915. There’s an interesting
woodland trail, and a lovely picnic and play area, complete with
countryside tables where the kids can run around freely and pretend to
be a train driver on the ‘Kempton Flyer’ play train. It’s free parking and
refreshments are available. Look out for HKWR’s exciting and affordable
special events that take place throughout the year.
Advance online bookings advisable - some events are advance
booking only. www.hamptonkemptonrailway.org.uk
If you fancy even more steam history, Kempton Steam Museum is right
next door. Visit www.kemptonsteam.org for opening times and tickets. There is no joint ticket available for the railway and museum.

Beautiful heritage railway offering steam train rides and picnics for families at affordable prices
Families from local communities and beyond, just love our railway as it's one of the only narrow gauge railways within the M25 featuring 'Darent' our 1903 locomotive pulling our beautifully restored Devonshire open carriages. There's a lovely picnic field equipped with countryside tables and umbrellas and a grassed play area where the kids can run around freely and pretend to be a train drivers on the Kempton Flyer play train.
We are well known for our exciting special events held throughout our season
Whether it's a magical ride for our princesses and pirates on our Unicorn railway or a photo op with Dino our dinosaur train, families always book early for these special weekends. Because we're a volunteer organisation, we can keep our ticket prices affordable for families to enjoy our special events. Vampire Scream Ups and Santa Specials are particularly popular!
A great heritage story to tell!
The volunteers at the railway are also restoring and extending the railway which has a great story to tell of supplying clean drinking water to London. The railway started in the early 1900s as an industrial railway hauling coal to fire the furnaces of the giant steam engines at the now Kempton Steam Museum, next door to the railway.
