Isleworth Ait is one of several islands in this reach of the River Thames. The 3.5 hectare island is uninhabited and only accessible by boat. It is a Local Nature Reserve (LNR) managed by the London Wildlife Trust, and their website page describing the island and its natural habitat is here http://www.wildlondon.org.uk/reserve.php?reserve_id=95. It used to belong to the Duke of Northumberland. There are a couple of boat maintenance yards here on the western side of the island.
