Platt's Eyot, River island in Hampton, Richmond upon Thames, United Kingdom
The Thames island features dense tree cover on its western end with steep riverbanks, while the eastern side contains industrial buildings and docks.
Thornycroft established the Hampton Launch Works in 1904, manufacturing naval craft during both World Wars and specializing in cabin cruisers and speedboats.
The transformation from osier cultivation to boat manufacturing reflects the industrial evolution of Thames islands during the Victorian period.
Access to Platt's Eyot is provided by a narrow suspension bridge from Hampton bank, limiting transport to manual methods due to its 1.8-meter width.
The western section of the island gained its elevated profile from soil deposits extracted during the construction of the Middlesex filter beds.
