Eel Pie Island, River island in Twickenham, England.
The 8.9-acre Eel Pie Island sits in the River Thames, connected to Twickenham by a pedestrian footbridge constructed in 1957.
Archaeological findings along the island's shore include mesolithic red deer antler bone implements, indicating human presence during prehistoric times.
The Eel Pie Island Hotel became a cornerstone of British music in the 1960s, hosting performances by The Rolling Stones, The Who, and Pink Floyd.
Access to the island remains restricted to residents and visitors can only explore the artists' studios during two annual open house events.
The island contains approximately 50 houses, multiple artists' studios, and two nature reserves at its extremities.
