Back in the 18th and 19th centuries a ‘mudlark’ was a poor person who combed the Thames foreshore looking for items that could be sold. Some depended on the Thames for their living. Nowadays, twice a day, the river continues to leave behind its treasures and people still scour the shores, picking up pieces of history discarded by Old Father Thames.
Whether you are a visitor to London or live here already, a day out on the Thames foreshore is something you'll always remember. It's a unique experience - and all because the River Thames is a tidal river.
