Sunbury Lock Ait, River island in Surrey, England.

Sunbury Lock Ait extends along the River Thames between Walton-on-Thames and Sunbury-on-Thames, featuring trees, ferns, and natural vegetation throughout its length.

The City of London Corporation purchased the island from multiple owners in the early 1800s to construct a lock system, completed in 1815.

The Middle Thames Yacht Club maintains its presence on the island, representing the long tradition of recreational boating activities in this section of the Thames.

Visitors access the island through a footbridge connecting to the Thames Path towpath on the southern bank or by using the lock gate walkways.

The island contains a private boat repair yard where craftsmen maintain vessels, continuing the maritime traditions of the River Thames.
