Overview

PLEASE EITHER TEXT ME OR MESSAGE ME VIA THIS SITE BEFORE YOU MAKE A BOOKING.

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.

Very cool experience for those interested in history and the thrill of the hunt. Would recommend for anyone who wants a more unique London experience. Robert was easy to work with from booking through the day of the trip.

Brilliant morning. Robert has loads of knowledge which he shared with us. Amazing to think about all history we were experiencing through the finds. Looking forward to the next one.

This was a bucket list item. My daughter and I had a terrific time. Robert was great at communicating and was knowledgeable about the foreshore. He ensured our safety, shared photos of what we might expect to find and helped us date items. We had a great time and I would definitely do it again. We did have a challenge getting to the meet up location on the London underground but that was due to a train incident involving police. I would recommend leaving extra time for travel. There were places nearby to grab a coffee an pass time if arriving early.

We had a great time beachcombing by the Thames. Robert was really friendly and helpful. Excellent knowledge of all our artefacts and really took the time to look at everyone's finds. We were pleased with our finds of clay pipes, Tudor pottery and roof tiles dating back to before the great fire of London. A really relaxing and enjoyable couple of hours would definitely like to do it again. Thank you Robert for running such a great tour.
