Mudlarking has undergone a transformation from a children’s pursuit to a cherished hobby, revealing the rich historical tapestry buried in London's Thames.
The mudlarking permit system has reopened after a two-year hiatus, with new measures in place to protect the foreshore and manage the skyrocketing interest.
The Port of London Authority (PLA) will now issue a maximum of 4,000 annual permits at £35 each, ensuring responsible exploration and safeguarding archaeological sites.
A new Creative Foreshore Permit, limited to 30 holders, allows artistic engagement with the Thames' non-significant finds, linking creativity with the city’s heritage.
