Secrets of the Thames Writer's Workshop

Fri 6 Feb 2026, 8.15 am

Venue: London Museum Docklands

Address: No. 1 Warehouse West India Quay, London E14 4AL

Writer and founder of Write & Shine Gemma Seltzer leads a morning writing workshop set within Secrets of the Thames, the UK’s first major mudlarking exhibition.

The Secret of the Thames installation offers a contemplative space to reflect on the moon’s role in revealing London’s hidden past.

Participants will  be invited to write and imagine, in the quiet and still time before the museum opens to the public. Gemma will guide them through a range of creative exercises to spark new poems, stories and life writing.

Open to all levels, participants won’t be expected to share their writing. Ticket price includes the workshop, coffee, tea and breakfast pastries, plus access to the exhibition.
