Pipers Island

The area is used for a boat hire and by larger vessels running hourly cruises during the Summer months.

A protective rail guards the lower and somewhat smaller upper decks of the restaurant, which are similar in design.

[1] Maps show it has clearly approximately kept its footprint measurement of 0.147 acres (590 m2) shortly before the year 1900, though the few rounded corners of its then-boathouse use have been neatly squared since the restaurant's opening.

[2] It is accessed on foot by a footbridge and staircase (also known together as a gangway) that connects the island to the centre of Caversham Bridge.

[6] The ait is toward the edge of the central urban area of the town of Reading and connected by a gangway attached to the middle of the downstream stone balustrade of Caversham Bridge, a road bridge that links that town to its left bank suburb of Caversham, its closer bank.
