£20 MILLION boost for London Concorde Project!
updated 19 July 2011We have been advised to scale back the proposed facilities on the lower deck of the platform, as these could set a precedent for much more grandiose plans over the River Thames.
As such, we plan to include these activities in a Concorde riverboat which will be moored between the new jetty and the Concorde display platform. Our new jetty will probably be linked to the existing London Eye jetty to ease riverboat traffic congestion on this stretch of the Thames.
The Concorde riverboat will incorporate a memorabilia shop, Concorde presentation area, artifacts display, Mach 2 restaurant serving Concorde cuisine, and Captains' bar. We may well have a second Concorde riverboat for river cruises for corporate clients and special events.
The following interested parties have been consulted throughout this project, and we thank them for their cooperation ;---
English Heritage, the Environment Agency, Lambeth Council, London Eye Company, MET Studio Design, Port of London Authority, and the South Bank Employers Group.
We still need new members to help us fund this Campaign. Life membership of Club Concorde, the Concorde Captains' Club, is just £10-00, and for a further £9-00 you can purchase a colour copy of our quality A4 Campaign print, as seen on our Home page, which is a photograph of Concorde and a Battle of Britain Spitfire, taken over the White Cliffs of Dover in 1990, the fiftieth anniversary of the Battle.
Membership details are available on our membership page.
