The Rolling Stones & Pink Floyd invade a tiny London island (part one: 1963-66)

In the swinging sixties, Eel Pie Island in south west London was turned from a mellow 'secret' home to a few locals into a mini festival location.Invaded by teenagers, then mods, rockers and hippies, as rhythm n blues slowly turned into heavy rock. This is (part of) the story of how The Rolling Stones, Peter Frampton, Cream, David Bowie, Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Who, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Free, Genesis & Mott the Hoople all showed up and carried their gear across a rickety wooden footbridge to an hippy island haven.
