Eel Pie Island is situated in the tidal Thames in West London, and is home to a variety of artists' studios along with some of the only working boatyards on the river.
Although the island is private and visitors are not allowed, twice a year, usually in early July and early December, thanks to the graciousness of the private residents who live on the island, we open up our studios to the public, so that you can view inside a working studio and browse, purchase or commission unique works of art!
This determinedly quirky fragment of creative London flourishes mid-river, at a time when such character is fading from the immaculate corporate city.
