Chiswick Eyot, River island near Chiswick Mall, United Kingdom
The 3.2-acre Chiswick Eyot sits in the Thames River, covered with trees and reeds, marking the halfway point of the Championship Course.
The island belonged to the Chiswick rectory until 1934 when ownership transferred to the local council, maintaining its traditional willow cultivation practices.
The green pole at the southwest end functions as an essential timing marker for rowers participating in the Oxford and Cambridge boat races.
Access to the island is restricted to low tide periods and organized work days to protect the natural environment and ensure visitor safety.
This Thames river island represents the last continuously maintained withy bed along the river, dating back to the mid-18th century.
