Benn's Island

Hampton Sailing Club with boat landing stages occupies all of Benn's Island above Molesey Lock

Benn's Island, previously named Church Eyot, Kember's Eyot and sometimes referred to as Benn's Ait,[1][n 1] is a private 0.1-acre (0.040 ha) ait (island) on the River Thames south-west of London. It is among a string of narrow islands above Molesey Lock and due to its clubhouse and size — the second-smallest named island on the Thames — it has deep foundation pilings to raise the building more than 1 m above the water line.
