About Us
Urban Discovery is a heritage and urban exploration collective based in the South East of England. We document and preserve the stories of forgotten spaces—abandoned buildings, industrial relics, and overlooked landmarks—before they vanish forever.
Through photography, research, and on-site storytelling, we aim to capture the atmosphere, architecture, and history of each location. Our work is rooted in respect: we never damage, disturb, or alter the sites we visit. Instead, we seek to honour their legacy by sharing their stories with the public.
Our portfolio spans former asylums, brickworks, roadside diners, council depots, and wartime hospitals. Each project is a visual archive, created to inspire curiosity and preserve memory for future generations.

We welcome responsible use of our images for personal projects and educational purposes. Please credit Urban Discovery whenever possible—it helps keep this work alive.
Coming Soon
We’re building a brand-new site platform that will feature interactive maps, in-depth articles, and behind-the-scenes audio tours for each location. Sign up for updates via our newsletter to be the first to know when it launches.
