Isleworth Ait, River island in Thames, London, United Kingdom.
Located between Old Isleworth and Kew towpath, this teardrop-shaped nine-acre island features dense woodland and natural tidal marginal habitats along the Thames.
The Metropolitan Water Board acquired this former osier production site from the Duke of Northumberland in the 1930s, following centuries as part of Syon Park estate.
The London Wildlife Trust manages this protected nature reserve that contains populations of rare snails, including the two-lipped door snail and German hairy snail.
Visitors can observe the island from Church Street in Isleworth or the London Apprentice and Town Wharf pubs along the Thames Footpath.
The island hosts more than 57 bird species and experiences regular tidal flooding, creating specific conditions for diverse wildlife populations.
