Boulter's Island, River island in Maidenhead, England.
The island sits in the River Thames at Boulter's Lock, featuring multiple private residences, a restaurant, and a small boatyard with a slipway.
The island developed alongside Boulter's Lock construction in 1829, when George Treacher managed the building of a new masonry lock structure.
BBC broadcaster Richard Dimbleby selected this Thames island as his residence, contributing to its recognition in British broadcasting history.
Visitors reach the island through Boulter's Bridge, which connects over the tail of Boulter's Lock, with parking facilities available on Ray Mead Road.
The island maintains a position between the lock cut and Ray Mill Stream, forming part of a chain of Thames islands near Maidenhead.
