Is that where the river divides Robbo?
Hi Tommy,
What looks like a fork in the river below the bridge is actually the River Mole and River Ember running into the Thames.That point of land behind Hampton Court rail station is known as Cigarette Island. Nothing to do with fag butts, just the way the bankside forms a thin point.

Hey Robbo thanks got the info matey, Knowing it is a point where more than one river joins makes sense, to start with I thought it was a loop in the Thames at that point forming like an Ox Bow. Cheers buddy much in the way of fish in that part before it gets to the polluted bits, although being quite tidal at that point probably does not make a lot of difference
