Who we are.

The Thames Explorer Trust encourages people to learn about, enjoy and look after the River Thames through a variety of activities and events. Around 18,000 people visit us each year.

Latest news

Welcome to our new website. This is a work in progress so please bear with us whilst we implement the changes.

We work to teach people about the Thames so that everyone can take a part in planning a healthy future for the river. We want to give people from all parts of the community the chance to get out there exploring – along the river, on the foreshore and on boats. Please treat the Thames and its surrounding environment with respect, and where necessary, caution.

What we can do for you

School Visits and Field Trips:

  • We run an exciting programme of curriculum-linked activities for schools and other education groups, using the river as an outdoor classroom. We offer a fantastic range of activities at venues along the tidal Thames from Isleworth to Greenwich. Download our education brochure here!

Foreshore Exploration for Adults and Families:

  • We run events for adults and families wanting to discover the archaeology or the ecology of the river with an expert guide.

Training:

  • We offer in-service training ‘away days’ for primary and secondary schools which include classroom based and river-related outdoor learning activities to inspire your staff.
