Let's visit! "Exhibition 2020 Water: From Source to Tap" (INSTITUTION of CIVIL ENGINEERS) | official video guide... London's hidden gems
ONE-SENTENCE SUMMARY.
A review of engineering works on tap water, flood prevention and sewer systems.
Attraction within 5-min walk:
Guards Museum
Jewel Tower
Pyx Chamber (Westminster Abbey)
Chapter House (Westminster Abbey)
WHERE TO START.
Exhibits not in any particular order—although, you can start with a "hut" at the end of the corridor, which loops on with an intro video. The clip will run through engineering inventions throughout history, from lighthouses to combustion engines and from post war urban design to recent discoveries.
HIDDEN GEMS.
Behind the hut is a hidden corner dedicated to Joseph Bazalgette, designer of London's sewer system (opened 1866).
Fun fact—The system contributed to the end of London's pandemic cholera outbreaks.
(Interested in this part of history? Travel west for a detailed discussion from the London Museum of Water and Steam.)
OUT OF SERVICES.
A VR headset experience is suspended during our WARS outbreak.
Travel problem? Let's chat.
Time is asset: save it for better with a 25-min museum tour. Or find yourself in my novel, check out the photo of the day and finish it off with a secret prize.
Date of visit: 2020.03
