Sunbury Court Island, River island in Sunbury-on-Thames, United Kingdom

Sunbury Court Island extends along the River Thames with 25 residential houses and bungalows connected by a decorative iron footbridge featuring an Italianate tower.

The island, formerly known as Hayes Ait, transformed from a rural meadow into a residential area with summer homes during the early twentieth century.

The adjacent Grade II listed Sunbury Court building, dating from 1723, functions as the international headquarters for the Salvation Army's conference activities.

Residents receive regular flood warning alerts from the Environment Agency, as the island faces a one in 100 annual probability of water level rises.

During the winter floods of 2013-2014, emergency services conducted multiple rescues when water reached waist depth on the island's pathways.
