River Thames: Pharaoh's Island
This is the western or upstream tip of the island, that is only reachable by boat. Visitors have to ring the bell on the mainland to summon attention. The island has 23 houses all with names with Egyptian connections. The Egyptian connection comes from the fact that the island was reputedly gifted to Lord Nelson by a grateful nation on his victory in the Battle of the Nile in 1798. The island is not natural having been severed from the mainland only when the northern channel, on the left, was cut in 1774. Alas on the day that the photograph was taken the rural peace and charm was being shattered by a loudly squabbling flock of feral ring-necked parakeets.

One of the many mid-stream aits or islands, that have houses on them. There are about 20 on Pharaoh's Island, cut off from the mainland except by boat and very vulnerable to flooding as can be seen here.

Pharaoh's Island
Pharaoh's Island is an island in the River Thames, located above Shepperton Lock. It was given to Admiral Nelson following the Battle of the Nile who used it as a fishing retreat. It does not have a bridged connection to the bank of the Thames therefore the residents have to use their own boats.
