Discover the Fascinating History of London’s Eel Pie Island... From Eels to The Rolling Stones.

In this video, we journey to one of London’s most unique and mysterious locations—Eel Pie Island.

Once famous for its eel pies, this small island in the Thames between Twickenham and Ham has a rich and unexpected past. From eel pie shops to Edwardian leisure seekers, and from jazz nights to The Rolling Stones, Eel Pie Island has seen it all!

Join me as I explore:

The origins of London’s eel cuisine

The curious rise and fall of the Eel Pie Island Hotel

Its role in the birth of British rock 'n' roll, with performances from legends like The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, and Cream

The bohemian spirit that still thrives today, during one of the island's rare Open Studio Weekends

And the remarkable story of Trevor Baylis, inventor of the wind-up radio and longtime resident of the island

Whether you're a fan of hidden London history, classic music venues, or offbeat places with a story to tell, this is one not to miss.
