The part of the island on the upstream side of the bridge is occupied by the Nag's Head public house, which gave the island its name,[1] a nag being a useless horse.

From the top of the island here a daily river boat service to runs to Oxford.

The frontage downstream of the bridge is occupied by a riverside cafe, chandlers and navigation stores, and boat hire facilities. Behind this is an extensive public open space.
