The Thames loops around north of Desborough Island - an artificially-created island south of Shepperton. The island was formed in 1930s by the digging of a channel - the Desborough Cut - by the Thames Conservancy. Both island and cut are named after Lord Desborough who was at that time chairman of Thames Conservancy.
