| Johnsons Island is one of London's hidden secrets! It opens it's doors to the public only twice a year. I visited over the summer and felt as if I'd stepped into a magical world! |
 |
| Accessed by a footbridge off Catherine Bridge Rd, it is located on the Grand Union Canal in Brentford. |
 |
| It is home to a small community of talented artists working in an eclectic collection of cosy.... |
 |
| ...and creative huts! |
 |
| This regal "Grey heron" wire drawing by sculptor Dianne Preston flew back home with me....and.. |
 |
| ...if there was enough room in my lily pad, this handsome chap would have also come home with me! |
 |
| Although I loved all the huts and the different art works, I had a soft spot for Dianne Prestons birds. She actually lives on a narrow boat on the canal, where the birds inspire her work. For a list of all artists and details of future open days, please visit the website |
