The
site is open to visitors by appointment only on the following days of the
year when the history of Crossness and a guided tour will be provided. We
regret that, at present, we cannot admit visitors who have not made an appointment.
Visits must be booked in advance (with at least 7 days notice) either on a Tuesday or Sunday between 9.30am and 4.00pm tel: 020 8311 3711 (no bookings will be accepted by answer-phone). Visits commence at 1.30pm. Please note that Group bookings (5 or more persons) must be paid for in advance.
PLEASE NOTE - DEVELOPMENTS AT CROSSNESS DURING 2009 Following confirmation of the award from the Heritage Lottery Fund and other major grant givers the Trust is about to embark on a major programme of work that will see the creation of a new access road, the repair of the fabric of the core buildings and the creation of new visitor and exhibition facilities. We are keen to maintain access to the site by visitors during this period but extensive building work presents a real challenge which may demand that the site be closed for significant periods until work is completed during 2010. We have published a programme of visitor and steaming days for 2009 but please note that these dates may change at relatively short notice. The latest updates will be posted here as soon as they are known so please make sure you check this site regularly.
In addition to the above regular visiting days, we will hold two Public Steaming Days in 2009 for the "Prince Consort" beam engine. No booking is required for these days when visitors can visit the site at will between 10.30 am and 4.30 pm - Admission will be £5.00. Please note that a minibus service will operate between Abbey Wood BR station and our site on all steaming days, at 30 minute intervals. The first minibus will leave from Abbey Wood Station at approx. 10.20 am.
