London River Park









BBC.CO.UK January 2012
A floating pier proposed for the Thames in central London has been delayed and will now not be built before the Olympics.
The River Park, which is to stretch 1km (0.6 miles) from the Millennium Bridge to Custom House Access Bridge, was hailed as an "amazing and unique attraction" by Mayor Boris Johnson.
But its layout and its impact on the river have faced criticism.
The project developer said feedback meant a redesign was now needed.
John Naylor, director of London River Park, said: "While Londoners as a whole are supportive of the scheme, it is clear local residents and river users would like us to look again at certain elements of the scheme.
"We are now reviewing the scheme, taking into account what we have been told.
"We are no longer proposing to take the scheme into the construction phase in advance of the Olympic Games."
