Two private Thames islands linked to Edward VIII head to auction for £1.65m

Two private islands on the River Thames are heading to auction. These islands are historically linked to King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson's romance. The property, which failed to sell last year, now has a lower guide price. It offers nearly 2.9 acres of land and a five-bedroom house. The auction is scheduled for July 28, 2026, with a guide price of £1.65 million.
