NEW CRUISE TERMINAL FOR LONDON?

Since we have been on the topic of Britain recently (including this foray to a Brit grocery store right here in the Palm Beaches, British Depot), newspapers in the UK are reporting on a new cruise terminal proposed for London that would accommodate the large ships, right on the River Thames. Quoting from the article in The Telegraph:

"It would be the first in the capital for more than 35 years, since the closure of the Royal Docks in 1981, and could allow ships of more than 650 feet (200m) in length to obstruct views of riverside attractions such as the Cutty Sark and the Old Royal Naval College. The Times reports that detailed plans for the terminal will be submitted 'within weeks', allowing it to open 'within two years'."

Jolly good news, we say! -- Gerry
