Running through the heart of London; the River Thames has played a central role in the history of the city, and when the tide is low, the capital’s longest archaeological site is revealed!
We will have about 1h 30mins on the foreshore at low tide before the tide starts to come in. We visit the foreshore at various places along the River Thames throughout the year.
The days we can go down onto the foreshore depend on the tide being low. I'm also limited as to when I can take people down to the foreshore.
We will look for historical objects along a stretch of the foreshore. You won't be allowed to scrape or dig, just eyes only.
This is a great activity for children, but have to be accompanied by an adult if under 16 years old.
I'll be holding up a 'Thames Beachcombing' sign when we meet.

My Mudlarking adventure was just as advertised. The guide was knowledgeable and helpful. It was great fun comparing our finds at the end. I even found a couple of items on my wish list.

A trustworthy friend said that a Thames foreshore walk was an unmissable experience, and I'm very appreciative of his recommendation. It's a quite unique way to see the Thames from a different perspective - as you walk along the shore, you are quite literally unearthing layers of London’s history.
The organizer provided a general guide with enough historical context to appreciate what we were seeing while also letting us explore at our own pace. I found that the walk attracted a very interesting crowd, making it enjoyable to meet other people on the walk and compare our discoveries.
Overall, it’s a great value for the location and knowledge access you get, and I'd recommend it to anyone curious about London’s hidden history who doesn't mind getting their hands (and boots) a bit dirty.
