Hammerton’s Ferry is a pedestrian and cycle ferry service across the River Thames.
In 1908, a local resident called Walter Hammerton began hiring out boats from a boathouse opposite Marble Hill House. In 1909, he began to operate a regular ferry service across the river at this point using a 12-passenger clinker-built skiff, charging 1d per journey.
Hammerton’s Ferry links the river’s northern bank near Marble Hill House in Twickenham with its southern bank near Ham House in Ham.
It is one of only four remaining ferry routes in London not to be replaced by a bridge or tunnel.
