Indoor surfing centre for London

Indoor surfing centre for London
BBC News
'An huge indoor surf park boasting machine-generated waves is being planned for London.
The Surfdome, the first of its kind in Europe, will feature a 75m long pool recreating perfect surfing waves.
The centre will cater for all standards from beginners to professionals, the concept owners said.
Discussions have been taking place with developers in Stratford, Greenwich in east London and Wembley, north London, for a suitable site in the city...'

GREENWICH would be the best as it currently has more redevelopment space, especially around the dome & the David Beckham football academy.

WEMBLEY is a mare to get to & around & STRATFORD !?!!! P...L...E...A...S...E

You draw a line across Mid Wales then striaght down to the tip of the river Severn and then horizontally across the rest of the country from the left to the right. Then further up the map draw a line across Hadrians Wall.

Below the line in big letters & above Hadrians line in big letters you WRITE the word civilisation.

In between take your pick of THE NORTH, DESOLATE WASTES, DON'T BOTHER or something else fitting
