Frequently Asked Questions Where do we park?

Opposite the island there is a small pay and display car park called Westfield Landings (Postcode: KT64HH.) Charge times

are Monday-Saturday 8am to 6.30pm, 60p per hour. Alternatively we have a relationship with Thames Sailing club and we

can arrange discounted rates to hire their car park, 50 spaces. Or you can park locally in the area or arrive by coach or

train.

Where is the nearest train station?

The nearest train station is Surbiton which has a fast train from waterloo taking about 17 minutes. The island is a 10

minute walk from the station or a 2minute cab ride.

How do I get over to the island?

Don’t worry we don’t make you swim! We have client boats (Private Launches) for guests and work boats for equipment

and suppliers. Opposite the island there is a landing with a buzzer to alert the ferryman, if you have arrived and we have

not spotted you then press buzzer and we will cruise over and pick you up. The journey to the island last about 30 seconds

and we have ferrymen on the island throughout you're event so your guests can come and go as they please.

How many can the private launches transport over to the island?

We can take across 10 people at a time and in 15 minutes can get across 70 guests. If you feel you would like a larger boat

to transport your guests over (65-120) we do have negotiated rates with local boat suppliers Turks and Parrs and can help

arrange this. Although it should be noted that by the time you fill a boat up with 65 people we can have shuttled across

the same amount.

What time can our event go on to?

Our license allows us to have events up until midnight, then we allow 30 minutes for guests to gather their belongings,

finish their drinks and leave the island. Our private launches will be operated until the last person is safely across to the

mainland.
