Fiddler's Elbow, River island in Kennington, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom.
Fiddler's Elbow extends along the River Thames with a shape similar to a leg of lamb, wide at one end and narrow at the other.
The island has served as a key element in Thames river navigation, positioned strategically alongside and upstream of Sandford Lock near Kennington.
The Thames Path walking route passes near Fiddler's Elbow, connecting visitors with the natural environment of the Oxfordshire waterways.
The eastern side of the island contains the main navigational channels, while the western section leads to the Sandford Lasher weir pool.
Two smaller weir streams at the lower section of Fiddler's Elbow create additional islands, forming a complex water system in this part of the Thames.
