Travel back in time to discover some of the most iconic items found on the Thames riverbed and find out some interesting insights into our ancestors in Chiswick.

The talk is part of a series on early Londoners, mostly women, who lived and died along the banks of the River Thames between 400,000BC and AD 40.

During the illustrated talk on objects rescued from British prehistory, people can learn about who left these items and how they lived.

Dwellers by the Thames: Early London and Early Londoners will be held by former senior curator of the Museum of London, Jon Cotton.

For more than three decades he worked at the museum, home to one of the most renowned collections in the country, mostly recovered from the Thames.

He has also worked on archaeological sites in west London and is inviting people to travel back to a time when the local population could fit on a double-decker bus.

The talk is being held at Chiswick Pier House on Tuesday (February 23) at 7.30pm.

Tickets cost £3, or free to members of the Chiswick Pier Trust.
