Thameside Aviation Museum

The Thameside Aviation Museum has been based at Coalhouse Fort since 1984 but started life many years earlier in 1974 under the name of The Essex Historical Aircraft Society with our first excavation being carried out in August 11th of that year, on Hawker Hurricane P3518 of 257 ( Burma ) Squadron. We have carried out over forty excavations since 1974.

Coalhouse Fort is a Victorian casemate fortress completed in 1874, as part of the river defences for london. It was manned in the first and second world wars.

For current visiting hours, please visit the website of the museum.
