615 forum posts 21 photos | Brooklands is literally just across the road from Weybridge railway station, and is well worth visiting in its own right. Debs and I will be staying nearby, and Debs goes into London most days visiting the galleries, museums etc. whilst I do the exhibition. It is about 30 minutes into Waterloo station, by frequent trains. Hampton Court is about 5 miles away. Kew Bridge pumping station? Geoff |

Kew Bridge pumping station? Now called the London Museum of Water and Steam - definitely worth a visit. One or other sets of engines is in steam most weekends HTH Rod |
