Eel Pie Boatyard

Eel Pie Boatyard is a small, family-run boat repair facility situated on the River Thames at Twickenham, opposite the privately owned Eel Pie Island.

The yard offers a 100-foot by 33-foot dry dock, hardstanding for approximately eight boats up to 45 feet and 14 tonnes served by a crawler crane, and 180 feet of pontoon for mooring alongside during fitting out, repair, and maintenance work.

A tug is available for towing vessels of all kinds. The site has a long boatbuilding heritage stretching back to 1891.

Today it provides river access at one of the few points in the borough where road and river still meet directly, making it a key part of Twickenham's working waterfront.

Eel Pie Island itself, accessible only by footbridge, is also home to 26 artists' studios clustered around the boatyard.
