Pharaohs Island, Shepperton, Surrey, TW17

Until the end of the 19th century Pharaoh's Island was formally known, as 'Dog Ait' acquiring its name following the construction of the 'The Sphinx' being first house on the island commissioned by Sir Cyril Atkinson, an English High Court Judge and Conservative Party politician, who's hobbies included Egyptology. Subsequent properties on the island followed were named in the Egyptian theme, so the island was renamed Pharaoh's Island. Over the years the island has also played host to a number of celebrities, artists and notorieties, who appreciate the privacy and seclusion offered by its boat only access.
