In 2004 the Discovery Channel ran a 6 part series on the building of a state of the art houseboat in Chiswick. Each week they had a section where they looked at other houseboat communities. This was filmed in April 2003.

A century ago Taggs Island on the Thames was a huge draw for high society, hosting an opulent ballroom and casino. Today it's a desirable haven and well kept secret, and home to a resident who states the case for independence.
A return to Tagg's Island with full scuba kit was inevitable. After my first solo expedition a few years ago I was eager to get back in the water with a team of divers and increase the ground we could cover. With the help of the Hackney Sub Aqua Club and underwater archeologist Gary Bankhead we got stuck in!
