Eel Pie Island Museum

What a fantastic gem of a museum. Really lovely and enthusiastic tour. And all for £3. I would have paid more , infact we became year members for a fiver. I would recommend for anyone to pop in , even on a match day 😁

Fascinating collection of exhibits telling the curious story of Eel Pie Island. Thanks to Celia for the cup of tea and guided tour. I was interested in the music aspect - trad Jazz/60s R&B but plenty of other displays about the river, rowing and inventor Trevor Baylis.

An excellent collection of artifacts, events, stories and the people that made this place special. Everything that a local museum should aspire to do

We had a fantastic time on our visit to the museum. It was packed with interesting facts, videos and displays and my husband and I enjoyed them all. The icing on the cake was the Walking tour. Celia is a real character and made everything so interesting. We thoroughly enjoyed hearing all about the island, the history and the many stories. We would definitely recommend both experiences.

Excellent. We were shown round and given the history and information on eelpiland, the gent was enthusiastic as well as informative.
This is small but.perfectly formed museum.
I absolutely loved it.

Wonderful nostalgic place. Guide very helpful. Hard to imagine how so many famous musicians and singers started out in one hotel on Eel Pie Island. Would recommend a visit to anyone interested in how the music industry started in the area.

The most amazing collection of items illustrating the history of the island. Extremely well put together by Michelle. We also have to thank Jane for the tea.
We spent a most enjoyable time looking round. Parking is very good as there’s a car park opposite. With free disabled parking.

Fantastic Museum with really interesting exibits. Entry is a bargain £3 . To enter museum when open you enter via intercom and will be greeted by some incredibly knowledgeable staff members. Once paid your free to explore the artifacts from memobillia to old photo and videos. Here gives you a brilliant insight into the old hotel and it's music and also the islanders itself. Fabulous starting point to explore the riverside and the island itself, though the island is private you can go to the bridge and also visit on open days.
