The Boathouse, Twickenham

The Boathouse is a commercial property located at Ranelagh Drive, Twickenham in England, which housed music and film studios.

The studios and control rooms are sound-proofed and air-conditioned with raised wood-strip flooring that provides concealed cable runs.

A Dutch barge which is outfitted as a floating studio called Grand Cru was previously moored at the property, connected by a gangway.

[2] The property was previously known as Dick Waite's Boathouse,[3] and was built in the late 1960s as part of a redevelopment of Sims' Boatyard, a builder of racing boats.

The building was dilapidated in 1976 when Pete Townshend of The Who bought it from Bill Sims[4] and remodelled it to house his Eel Pie Studios.
