Brunel Museum introducing cheap tickets for local residents
The Brunel Museum in Rotherhithe, which tells the story of the Thames Tunnel, is introducing a discount entry scheme for local residents.
The museum is in two halves, with one section in an old steam pumping house, and the other hidden underground in the original shaft dug by Brunel for the world’s first underwater tunnel.
Locals tickets, for self-guided visits and for their Guided Tour Weekends, will cost £2 per person, and will be available to anyone living in the SE16 and SE8 postcodes.
That’s most of Bermondsey, Deptford and Rotherhithe.
This price will be the same whether you book online or pay on the day. To prove you’re a local, you’ll need to take something with your name and address on it and show it to the staff when you arrive.
The new price comes into effect from 18th January 2025.

SUPPORT THIS WEBSITE
This website has been running now for over a decade, and while advertising revenue contributes to funding the website, it doesn't cover the costs. That is why I have set up a facility with DonorBox where you can contribute to the costs of the website and time invested in writing and research for the news articles.
It's very similar to the way The Guardian and many smaller websites are now seeking to generate an income in the face of rising costs and declining advertising.
Whether it's a one-off donation or a regular giver, every additional support goes a long way to covering the running costs of this website, and keeping you regularly topped up doses of Londony news and facts.
If you like what you read on here, then please support the website here.
