Discover the hidden treasures of the Thames
Follow in the footsteps of Victorian street children, many of whom scraped by, by ‘mudlarking’ on the Thames Foreshore; hunting for anything they could find which they could sell.
Be prepared to get muddy! Please come with either walking boots or wellingtons. Also be aware that the mud banks shift fairly quickly as the weather and flow change. What was gravel one day can be mud the next!

1. Millennium Bridge
Meeting by the glass obilix under the north bank of the Millenium Bridge we explore the foreshore from there to Queenhithe Dock. We are guaranteed to fine pipes, pottery and lots of evidence of London Past as the whole of London’s past is endlessly and twice daily turned by the tide.
