Eel Pie Retreat

This stylish flat has an appeal all its own. Located in the middle of the Thames, Eel Pie Island, Twickenham, is a relaxed private island only accessible by footbridge. An epicentre of British rock ’n’ roll in the 60s, bands such as The Who, Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd played some of their first gigs; it is now a much more tranquil place, home to numerous artist studios. This luxury private flat in a converted boatyard is hard to believe until you enter.
