London Rivers Week 2026: Creekside Low Tide Walk

Join Creekside Discovery Centre for a free Low Tide Walk in Deptford Creek as part of London Rivers Week 2026.

With the help of our guides, you will get down onto the river bed, explore the ecology and wade into the natural and social histories of this fantastic urban space.

By observing and appreciating the variety of wildlife in Deptford Creek, we hope to foster a greater connection between people and the urban nature around them.

A Low Tide Walk takes about 2 hours, which includes putting on waders and preparing for the river, walking up and back down the river, using nets to observe the wildlife under the water, and washing waders and hands after the walk. Please arrive promptly for the time stated at the event.

By joining our conservationists on this wade into Deptford Creek, you will learn about the variety of ways we are working to better understand and support wildlife in the Creek.

Waders and mud sticks will be provided.

Only children aged 8 and above can join this activity. All U18s must be accompanied by an adult.
