D'Oyly Carte Island, Private river island in Weybridge, United Kingdom.

A two-acre island in the River Thames features Eyot House, a Victorian mansion with 13 bedrooms, a grand ballroom, and five bathrooms.

Richard D'Oyly Carte purchased the island in 1890, intending to create a secluded extension of the Savoy Hotel but local authorities denied the alcohol license.

The island maintains its musical legacy through performances in the ballroom, connecting to Richard D'Oyly Carte's role in producing Gilbert and Sullivan operas.

Access to the island occurs via a footbridge connected to mainland parking, with space for 45 vehicles and 40 boat moorings around the perimeter.

The island's previous owner kept a crocodile on the premises, adding an unexpected element to this Thames residence's documented history.
