So keeping Gloriana in Greenwich is a really great idea. The Gloriana is a 94-foot-long (29 m) royal barge which was privately commissioned as a tribute to Queen Elizabeth II. The project to build Gloriana was initiated by Lord Sterling, who liked the idea of a waterborne tribute to the Queen for her Diamond Jubilee in 2012. The Greenwich Park video has a short clip of the Gloriana passing some suburban houses. She would look much better traveling between Whitehall and Greenwich &#8211; preferably with wealthy tourists paying a fortune for each trip. It costs <a href=\"https:\/\/www.londoneye.com\/Corporate\/Weddings\/\">\u00a32,800 for a ceremony in the London Eye<\/a>. How about \u00a310,000 for a couple of hours on Gloriana? I would see it as a contribution to London&#8217;s urban design.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As explained on the video about Greenwich Park, Henry VIII and Elizabeth I were rowed from Whitehall Palace to Greenwich Palace in a royal barge.
