I don't live anywhere near there but Eel Pie Island does exist.

Used to be a very famous music venue called Eel Pie Hotel on the island. A lot of big names played there until it closed in the late '60s.

Yep, I live on a boat at Swan Island in Twickenham which is the next island up river from Eel Pie.

Nice place when the weather is good
