I had a free visit of this place, the museum is super tiny, u could finish in 5 minutes, then the "shaft" was basically just a tiny circular basement, I thought it would be more impressive like at least with some mechanical parts. I would not recommend visiting this place if you have to pay.

Very interesting building and little museum. An amazing gentleman (volunteer) talked us through the history of Brunel and the tunnel for free. Well worth a visit!

A historical landmark that should be protected at all costs like other museums around London :) This is where the underground first began! My first visit here was many many years ago before they had a staircase & we crawled through a hatch to watch an orchestra perform, a very memorable experience. Revisited recently and happy to see more visitors here and the tour guide Tim is super entertaining.

Small museum with some pictorial history and steps down tunnel shaft. Supported by friendly volunteer staff. Good clean toilet facilities. A must if you are a Brunel admirer. Happy to pay a small fee which supports development of the museum.

We were here for the Midnight Apothecary- basically garden drinks on the terrace with a tour into the hole (not the tunnel). The charcoal cocktail was fun and I’m glad I had it. The tour guide was a character, once upon a time an actor, but he tells a good story and definitely has a man-crush on Brunel Jr.

Attended a wedding at the Brunel Museum, which was a fantastic and somewhat different venue. The ceremony took place at the bottom of the shaft with drinks and finger food on the ground level outside. Would really recommend it for someone seeking an event space that is unique and has an interesting history.

A small museum dedicated to Marc and Isambard Brunel, whose genius at engineering resulted in the construction of the first tunnel under the Thames. Plenty of information is on hand to explain all
£6.00 entry fee is good value to experience this historic site.

Great piece of British history getting to see down the tunnel shaft. Learning all about the first under river tunnel in the world
