Corporation Island, River island in Richmond, United Kingdom

Corporation Island sits between Richmond Bridge and Richmond Railway Bridge on the River Thames, featuring dense woodland of white willow and poplar trees.

The island received its name from the Corporation of Richmond, which later became part of the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames administration.

The island maintains a grey heron colony with numerous nests, contributing to the natural diversity of the River Thames ecosystem.

No public access exists to Corporation Island, limiting observation opportunities to views from Richmond Bridge and the surrounding riverbank areas.

The island underwent changes in its shape due to tidal flow modifications following the construction of the New London Bridge in 1829.
