• 12．Over the centuries，London's River Thames is home to 180 of these "aits"一an ancient word meaning "small island".
     Eel Pie Island
  Most famous of all of these aits is car-free，as is Eel Pie Island，which got its name from a dish on the menu of a 19th century island hotel.The island's fame was promoted in the "swinging sixties "when，the bands 一all great names of the day including Pink Floyd，The Rolling Stones 一played there.A 17-year-old youth，Davy Jones，also went along well with the Eel Pie Island crowd.And everyone came to know him better as David Bowie later.
     Monkey Island
     Monkey Island was an ait for the royal（王室的）family.Princess Margaret and her friends held a big party in the 1960s.Writers including HG Wells tended to visit this island too.It is not absolutely certain but generally believed that Monkey Island's name came from the Old English "Monks Eyot （ait）"，because the first recorded settlers were Augustinian monks（僧侶）.
     Tagg's Island
     Another royal ait，Tagg's Island，changed its name in 1872 when Thomas Tagg built the island's Thames Hotel.The island was also a busy parking site for houseboats.Among those who rented one was the author of Peter Pan，Scotsman JM Barrie.However，it was none of those celebrities（名人） who promoted Tagg's Island popularity，but the theater manager Frederick Westcott，who discovered Charlie Chaplin.
     Oliver's Island
     Masses of birds call this island home，everything from Canadian geese to cormorants and herons.There's an unsolved puzzle connected to Oliver's Island.The story goes that a secret tunnel leads from the island to the Bull's Head pub in Chiswick as an escape route.Maybe it's true，though plenty have tried to find it without success.Ah，and the island's name？That's down to Oliver Cromwell，the great England leader，who supposedly took refuge（難民）there.
