Seen from near the suspension bridge to Thames Ditton Island, this small island is a few yards downstream. After the wettest winter on record and extensive flooding by the Thames the river was exceptionally high and fast-flowing. It seemed that many of the properties on the islands were flooded and on the mainland sandbags were to be seen everywhere.
