Boyle's Farm Island
Boyle Farm Island is the second largest of the three islands at Thames Ditton. It contains a single house, home to just one family. It is directly opposite the historic mansion of Boyle Farm. Whereas its larger partner, Thames Ditton Island, has at times been administratively part of Middlesex, Boyle Farm Island has always belonged to Surrey.

An island next to Thames Ditton Island
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.

Home of Compassion, Thames Ditton
Work started on the construction of this house in the 1780s. It was known as Boyle Farm until 1905 when it was purchased by the Order of the Compassion of Jesus, an Anglican religious order. In due course it became the Home of Compassion, a charitable care facility for the elderly. As the sign suggests it is currently being refurbished and redeveloped. It stands on the Surrey bank of the Thames opposite the eponymous Boyle Farm Island.

River Thames, Thames Ditton
The gap between Thames Ditton Island on the left and Boyle Farm Island has silted up. In the mid 90s it was possible to row a gig through the gap but you can now walk it and keep your feet dry.
