Crane Park Island, Nature reserve and river island in London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, England
The island contains dense woodlands, ponds, and reedbeds along the River Crane, forming a protected environment for local wildlife species.
The location operated as Hounslow Gunpowder Works until 1927, with the Shot Tower from 1828 serving as both a watch tower and fire hazard lookout.
The London Wildlife Trust manages conservation programs on the island, maintaining natural habitats and conducting educational activities for the community.
