Chiswick Eyot

It's a small tidal island in the River Thames, not far from the Griffin Brewery. What are the words on the sign?

Warning - Tidal River - Risk of Marooning at High Tide

Before our brewery tour it was low tide, but the muddy ground was slippery, so we carefully walked over to the "island."

After our tour it looked a wee bit different....

I also took pictures further back, standing on a traffic island with a different warning sign.

Once again, we have the scene before the tour...

...and after the tour. The tide had come in enough to cut off Chiswick Eyot from the mainland, but it was by no means high tide. Between low and high, there is a 7 metre height difference at this point on the Thames. That's a lot of water!
