The Brunel Museum is situated at the Brunel Engine House, Rotherhithe. The Engine House was designed by Sir Marc Isambard Brunel as part of the infrastructure of the Thames Tunnel, which opened in 1843 and was the first underwater tunnel to be built anywhere in the world. It comprises the Engine House and the tunnel shaft, with a rooftop garden. Isambard Kingdom Brunel worked with his father Sir Marc on the project from 1823 and was appointed Resident Engineer in January 1827 at the age of 20.
The tour involves entering the tunnel shaft, which is accessed by 40 steps. Members who may have problems negotiating these can view from the gallery instead.
Booking for this outing will open soon.
