Fry's Island, River island in Reading, United Kingdom.
Fry's Island sits in the River Thames between central Reading and Caversham, featuring residential properties, a boatyard, and a private club.
In 1163, the island hosted a trial by combat between Robert de Montfort and Henry of Essex, standard bearer to King Henry II.
The Island Bohemian Club, established in 1908 as the Old Codgers Club, maintains its presence on the island with dedicated recreational facilities.
The island remains inaccessible by foot, requiring visitors to use private boat services operated by resident organizations and homeowners.
De Montfort House, built in 1897, served as an American servicemen club during World War II before becoming a blues music venue.
