Thames Explorer Trust

Join us on the foreshore to learn about the history of the Thames and London...

(Meeting outside) The Yurt Cafe

<h2>Join us for a fun session to discover the history of the Thames</h2>A chance to get onto the foreshore at Limehouse and find archaeological 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.<a href="https://thames-explorer.org.uk/footsteps-of-mudlarks-limehouse" title="https://thames-explorer.org.uk/footsteps-of-mudlarks-limehouse" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Meeting point: We will be meeting outside the Yurt Cafe</a> in the grounds of the The Royal Foundation of St. Katharine, St. Katharine's Precinct, 2 Butcher Row, London E14 8DS, where we will take a short walk to the stone steps leading to the foreshore.A note to our regular participants: walks on different days will start and finish at different times depending on the tide and weather conditions.

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: office@thames-explorer.org.uk or ring 020 8742 0057
