Champion's Wharf Play Beach, despite its name, is not a traditional beach. It is a large sand pit located in the raised, paved area leading to York House Gardens, adjacent to the river. The area is designed to be a safe and fun environment for children, with a strict no-dog policy to ensure cleanliness and safety.
The play beach features two wooden boats 'beached' in the sand, providing an imaginative play area for children. These boats, resembling Viking longships, are a popular attraction for the young ones. The area is well-maintained and clean, making it a favorite spot for children who enjoy playing with sand and boats.
During sunny periods, a large cover is provided to shade the children from the sun. The play beach is also wheelchair accessible, making it an inclusive space for all to enjoy.
The play beach is set within a contemporary garden dedicated to Twickenham’s literary Titan, Alexander Pope. The garden offers delightful surroundings and a tranquil atmosphere. From the play beach, visitors can enjoy a view across the Thames towards Eel Pie Island, with St Mary church and Riverside Walk providing an evocative backdrop.
Best restaurants near Champion's Wharf Play Beach include Greek Cook & Grill, Pizza Express, Osteria Pulcinella, Rice Mill Thai Restaurant, Masaniello, Nando's Twickenham and The Crane Tap.
Visitor reviews highlight the unique appeal of the beach as a children's playground, particularly praising the sandpit and the wooden boats that inspire imaginative play. The location's tranquility, cleanliness, and the delightful surroundings, including a view across the Thames, are also appreciated. However, some visitors express disappointment about the misleading name, as the location is more of a sandpit than a beach and lacks direct water access.
