DescriptionEyot House, D'Oyly Carte Island - geograph.org.uk - 376622.jpg
English: Eyot House, D'Oyly Carte Island, Weybridge.
A view across the Thames to the mostly garden-and-trees island which has the private mansion of a theatre producer and moored narrowboats beyond. Richard D'Oyly Carte was the producer of the Gilbert and Sullivan comic operas from 1875 to 1896 (such as The Mikado), founder of the Savoy Theatre and Royal English Opera House (now the Palace Theatre) in London and a hotelier. He bought the island around 1890, and it acquired his middle name and surname. Before its construction there was a stone-built folly of some sort as the island was folly ait/eyot. Access is by a locked gate on a private bridge, visible on the right.
