Fiddler's Elbow

Fiddler's Elbow is an island in the Thames upstream from Sandford Lock , at Kennington in Oxfordshire .

Fiddler's Elbow is shaped like a leg that tapers upstream from the broad end downstream. The main shipping route runs east of the island, while an arm divided by a weir runs west of it. Two smaller weirs at the lower end of the island create two more small islands. There is only grassland on the island.
