D'Oyly Carte Island

D'Oyly Carte Island from Desborough Island

D'Oyly Carte Island is a small island in the River Thames, England, on the reach above Sunbury Lock and just below Shepperton Lock. It is located between Weybridge and Shepperton.

Eyot House is a large house and garden on the island which was previously owned by Richard D'Oyly Carte, producer of the Gilbert and Sullivan operas in Victorian times. This connection has given the island its name. A small single span footbridge was built in 1964 to provide access to the house. This is a very high arch of a single steel box girder with treads. The island provides mooring to small boats.
