For 350 years Coombe Conduit formed part of a system which collected water from nearby springs and channelled it to Hampton Court Palace. One of three such conduits that supplied the palace, the remaining structure represents an intriguing survival of the ingenious Tudor waterworks system.
Coombe Conduit will be open for the 2025 season:
Open 11am - 2pm

Access: Unfortunately the site is not accessible for wheelchair users as there are steps into the grounds and then down into the internal chambers of the conduit. The grounds are sloping and uneven, and there are trip and slip hazards inside the conduit.
How to Find it: The entrance to the conduit is in Coombe Lane West, Kingston upon Thames KT2 7HE and is close to the west of the corner with Lord Chancellor Walk.
Parking: There is no car park at the conduit but there is some unrestricted on-street parking on Lord Chancellor Walk.
