Hamhaugh Island, River island in Shepperton, England
Hamhaugh Island is a residential river island in Shepperton with approximately 46 houses arranged around a central green space. The island occupies a substantial area in the Thames and forms a self-contained community surrounded by water.
The island was originally known as Stadbury and underwent modification before 1700 when a division created the neighboring Lock Island. This early separation shaped how the island appears in the river today.
The residential community maintains a demographic profile with 52 percent of inhabitants holding higher education degrees, exceeding national averages.
Reaching the island involves crossing Lock Island and a weir on foot, though boat access is also available if you prefer traveling by water. The marked pathways along the riverbank provide good orientation when planning your visit.
The southern edge of this Thames island marks the southernmost point of Middlesex and sits between Pharaoh's Island upstream and D'Oyly Carte Island downstream. This boundary location gives it a distinctive place in the county's geography.
