Trowlock Island, River island in Teddington, United Kingdom

Trowlock Island extends for 535 meters along the River Thames, connected to the northern bank through a manual chain ferry system.

The island appeared as three separate islets on John Rocque's map from 1746, later merging into the single landmass present today.

The Royal Canoe Club maintains its primary facilities on the island, including a clubhouse and gymnasium for water sports training activities.

Twenty-nine residential bungalows occupy individual plots on the island, managed by Trowlock Island Limited through elected representatives.

The name derives from 'trow', a type of river barge weighing between 50 to 60 tons that operated in these waters.
