Have to say that I’m surprised a small pedestrian ferry using a suitable
craft run by professionals
hasn’t been put in place , perhaps Hammersmith and Fulham should ring up
Isle of Wight County Council whose Cowes floating bridge is broken again
and has a passenger launch service instead for the operators phone number.

There appears to be a jetty that could quickly brought into use on the
North Bank depending on how cooperative owner of it is, or made to be
,South Bank may need a temporary structure .

Arn’t the Duck tours in London suspended at the moment due to loss of
launch facility?
There appears to be a bit of a ramp by the Southern end of the bridge pop
in there and come out on the ramp by Chiswick Eyot though the Russian
oligarchs who have bought most of the properties along there may object.
