Lock Island

Facing the attached by lock-gate bridge mainland is a hedge-lined lawn hosting a café, below and above zones of free short-stay moorings.

The Thames River Police have a station on the island.

The island is connected to Hamhaugh Island by a walkway across the main weir, in turn having a closed-access weir to Hamm Court, Addlestone.

Lock Island was uninhabited until the late 19th century, when some people from London moved there due to the unhealthy environment of the city.

[1] The west of the island is undisturbed wilderness, and is home to a population of European water voles.
