The island has a commercial boatyard in addition to residential mooring for boats. It is connected to the Twickenham bank by a small bridge, which is suitable for vehicles as well as foot traffic.

Originally an osier bed, it measured 14 acre (0.10 ha) per Ordnance Survey maps of 1897[1] and 1898.[2][3]

A larger island stood north-west which has become the playground, bowling green, café and park Radnor Gardens, Strawberry Hill/Vale.
