Welcome to Heron Island
The website of the residents association for the households on our island in the Thames at Caversham — news, local history, and the things that keep island life running smoothly.
Heron Island is a private residential island on the River Thames at Caversham. The Residents' Association brings together every home to look after the things we share — the moorings and planters, the spit, communal maintenance, our neighbourhood and of course socialising.
