I had the chance to visit and fully experience the Creekside Discovery Centre near the start of the academic year long primary teacher Postgraduate Certificate in Education programme at Goldsmiths College in 2011. Would highly recommend it to other teachers as a fantastic opportunity for a very unique outdoor learning experience.

Wonderful organisation, promoting Depford Creek. Provides access tours for all ages, get kitted out in waders for a magical experience in the mud.

One of my favourite walks is along the railway line from Deptford to Greenwich

The low tide walk was an amazing experience. There were swans, Canada Geese, Egyptian geese, crabs, shrimps, clams and even an eel. All sorts of plant life as well. The guide was friendly and knowledgable and the volunteers were also great. I loved it and so did my 10 year old. Thanks for an amazing day out!!!

Went for an open day with my 19m son. Great friendly staff who were fantastic with the kids, fun activities (today there was making puppets to represent the life cycle of frogs, camouflaging a flounder, making tissue paper freesias, and bark rubbing/finger painting trees), and the centre itself is great with aquariums and artifacts from the creek - lots of fun for kids. There was even literature about the local area and the creek for adults. The only complaint I would have is that it's only open to the public on a couple of days each school holiday - it would be great to be able to visit more frequently!

Creekside Education Trust provided a wonderful afternoon for my students from the University of South Florida who were visiting London on a study abroad program. This visit was one of the highlights of our summer! We learned so much during our enriching and experiential trek in Deptford Creek.

Wonderful walk in waders up the Creek. Most informative guide. Very interesting.

Fantastic treasure hunt/orienteering event - knowledgeable and super friendly people in charge - thank you!

The Creekside Discovery Centre provides deeply insightful sessions on environmental conservation. I had a wonderful day with Nick and Paddy, where I learnt a lot about the biodiversity of Deptford creek, the socio-polictical nuances on conservation, and am now inspired to take action towards re-greening of Urban wetlands. With priliminary training, we surveyed a small plot and documented vegetation in great detail. 10/10 reccommeded especially for being a well equipped centre.

Excellent guided tour by friendly and knowledgeable volunteers. History, geography, wildlife and more all packaged into a two-hour muddy walk where you can see the familiar from a brand new angle. Highly recommended!

Excellent staff very friendly

Brilliant experience, Nick was great, excellent hangover cure!! 😀
