Having visited the Kew Bridge Steam Museum on a weekday, I hadn't realized that the machinery would not be operating. So I took this opportunity to try again on a weekend. And what better or more relaxing way to get to Kew than by riverboat up the Thames!

Of course, there are a few miscellaneous pictures here prior to boarding the riverboat, included here as there aren't enough of them to make a section all of their own.
