Description: The Standpipe Tower. In spite of appearances, this 200 foot tower is not a chimney stack; it houses two systems of vertical pipes through which water was pumped before it entered the mains water supply. The brick tower, of Italianate design, was constructed in 1867 to replace an earlier open metal lattice structure. It is a Grade I listed building now under the stewardship of The London Museum of Water and Steam.
