Brooklands Museum

Learn about motoring and aviation at the Brooklands Museum in Surrey, home to racing cars, motorcycles and aircraft, such as the Wellington Bomber. You’ll even have the chance to climb aboard a classic Concorde.

How do I get to Brooklands Museum and where is it?

Brooklands Museum is located in Surrey in south London, a 30-minute train journey from London Waterloo station.

The closest railway station is Weybridge (less than a mile away) on the Woking to Waterloo and Staines to Weybridge lines. You can then either walk for 20 minutes along Brooklands Road or catch a local bus outside the station to the Brooklands Hotel stop (a seven-minute walk).

What is there to do and see at Brooklands Museum?

Based on the site of the world's first purpose-built motor racing circuit, Brooklands Museum displays a wide range of motoring and aviation exhibits, including giant racing cars, motorcycles, bicycles, civilian and military aircraft, including the Second World War Wellington Bomber.

Take a peek inside the world's most famous aircraft - and the only Concorde with public access in South East England - with the Brooklands Concorde Experience, a 35-minute tour which invites visitors to relive the excitement of the supersonic age. Pre-book your flight before visiting.  

Walk on the steepest section of the Brooklands race track, following in the tyre tracks of motorsport greats, such as John Cobb, Malcolm Campbell, Kay Petre, Noel Pope and the Bentley Boys. Originally constructed in 1907, the race track was the Ascot of Motorsport in its heyday. 

There are regular special event days for classic vehicles too.
