Kirkaldy's Testing and Experimenting Works
David Kirkaldy's Testing and Experimenting Works at 99 Southwark Street set international standards in testing materials from which everyone’s everyday life benefits today.
Today, this unique Victorian workshop keeps alive our direct link with Kirkaldy's innovation, at the heart of this bustling commercial district of London. The Kirkaldy Testing Museum preserves Kirkaldy's unique Universal Testing Machine - the huge hydraulic powered machine he designed and had built in Leeds - in full working order in the premises he built to house it.
As well as presenting the story of the family who ran the business for almost 100 years and of the wider development of materials testing, the workshop and the Universal Testing Machine provide a unique crucible for new experimentation and collaboration - which can inspire future generations of scientists and artists alike to continue enquiring into the properties of the materials on which we build our lives.

Hopton's Almshouses
The collection of 26 almshouses here on the south side of the river is now dwarfed and rather overshadowed by the surrounding high-rise developments, but the properties have been in continuous occupation since 1752, when they were built with money provided by the estate of a wealthy businessman, Charles Hopton.
