About this Event

Join us to discover the history of the Thames

Please be aware: Our staff will tell you the best way to navigate them.

A chance to get onto the foreshore at Millennium Bridge and find the archaeological surface artefacts revealed by the River Thames. Who knows what will be discovered - smoking pipes, drainpipes, pottery, bones…? There is lots of evidence of London's past to be found. Money raised from these sessions supports the development and delivery of our schools’ programmes.

Meeting by the glass obelisk under Millennium Bridge, on the North Bank, we will explore the foreshore from the bridge to Queenhithe Dock. We are guaranteed to find pipes, pottery and lots of evidence as the twice daily tide reveals London's history.

A note to our regular participants: walks on different days will start and finish at different times depending on the tide and weather conditions. See above for the times of this walk.

Please pay by clicking the PayPal button above - once you are on that page you don't need a PayPal account - just click on pay by debit or credit card.

Booking is essential. Children must be accompanied by an adult (minimum age for children is 8 years). Maximum of 2 children per adult.

Health and Safety

We recommend you bring waterproof gloves. Although this is not compulsory it is important to cover broken skin ie eczema, cuts etc. Wear sensible footwear e.g. wellies, old trainers or walking boots – no sandals, high heels or bare feet· Please bring hand-sanitizer as there may be no local hand-washing facilities - wash your hands with soap and water at the first available opportunity·

Artefact policy

Thames Explorer developed our artefact policy almost a decade ago after seeing people removing wholesale quantities of artefacts from the foreshore. We encourage all to adhere to the following principal: that you take only photographs, knowledge and memories and not artefacts themselves. Doing this helps preserve the historic nature of the Thames foreshore and the unique experience of mudlarking.

If you have any questions please email: [email protected] or ring 020 8742 0057
