Eel Pie Island, Twickenham
No cars! No bikes! No barking dogs! The small number of residents on this island don't seem to like visitors much either (clock the number of Keep Out signs), but don't let that stop you having a wander. Eel Pie was known for jazz studios in the 1960s and its hippies in the 1970s, but in 2012 it is quiet and smells of honeysuckle. The Twickenham riverside is packed with noisy pub-goers in the summer (and rugby days), so the island really is a haven, easily accessible by footbridge. Twice a year, Eel Pie artists open their studio doors for all to visit (eelpieislandartists.co.uk, dates tbc).
