London’s secret island ⤵️ Yes, there’s a private island with a quirky artist community right in the heart of London — and it opens its doors to the public only twice a year! It felt like stepping into a different world — filled with colorful artwork, local stories, and eccentric charm. 🛶 No boats needed — just cross the little footbridge from Twickenham and you’re there in minutes. What to expect: 🎨 Meet local artists in their studios 🖼️ Explore the island’s creative, bohemian vibe 🕰️ Learn about its wild past (yes, it hosted rock legends in the 60s!) Opening days 2025 June 28-29 and July 5-6- the events are free but ticketed, and you can find more information and book the tickets on Eventbrite or their webisite www.eelpieislandartists.co.uk - for this year tickets are already sold out but keep an eye out for the 2026 open days.
