About

Join the volunteers for an entertaining visit of exploration, discovery and learning . Visit the three listed buildings and see the four Victorian beam engines, one of which has been fully restored and will be steaming throughout the day.

You can explore the history of this iconic location, learning more about the crucial role it played in London’s ‘ground-breaking” sewerage system which continues to serve the capital today, and visit the “The Great Stink Exhibition” which shows why this feat of Victorian civil and mechanical engineering was so badly needed.

Light refreshments will be available from the Coffee Shop and the shop will offer some interesting items for sale – some of which are made by volunteers at Crossness.

Families can join the learning team for a free Make and Take craft activity and can explore the Crossness site with our children’s Activity Trail.

* The event lasts about 3 hours and comprises a talk about the site and the work of the Trust and a tour of the site. It usually starts with refreshments (provided at an additional charge) to accommodate any delayed attendees.
