About this Event

London Shipwreck - Walk & Talk

Learn about the wonderful recovered objects that have been saved from the wreck site and that are now displayed at Southend Central Museum.

What others have said about it:

"We thought it was interesting and as fellow divers from the local area, we particularly enjoyed hearing about the way in which the wreck was explored. The information was presented well and in a humble manner. There was no boasting despite the hard work, skill and determination involved". Sue - Walk & Talk visitor, March 2026.

"It was fascinating, the passion and breath of knowledge of the gentleman giving the talk was astounding" . Lilian - Walk & Talk visitor, March 2026


The London Shipwreck Project and the Save The London campaign is generously supported by Dive Master Insurance and DP World UK.

All money raised will support the volunteer dive team and their efforts to Save The London.
