Encyclopedia : D : DO : DOY : D'Oyly Carte Island
D'Oyly Carte Island is a very small island in the River Thames, England, between Weybridge and Shepperton. It is located near Shepperton Lock.
There is just one large house and garden on it. It has a small footbridge and offers mooring to small boats. The island was previously owned by Richard D'Oyly Carte, producer of the Gilbert and Sullivan operas in Victorian times, hence the name.
Pharaoh's Island, owned by Admiral Nelson, is not far away.
